FAQs

Antique Shiraz rugs are traditional tribal floor coverings woven by nomadic and village weavers in the Fars province of southwestern Persia, known for their distinctive geometric motifs and rich wool foundations.

Authentic pieces from this region typically feature hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft threads, dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colorants.

Authenticity is indicated by irregular hand-knotted construction, asymmetric or symmetric knotting styles, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, and traditional tribal motifs such as geometric medallions and stylized flora.

These textiles add textural warmth and historical contrast to modern spaces, working effectively when grounded against neutral hardwood flooring or layered over larger sisal carpets.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brush heads, professional hand-washing by specialists in textile conservation, and keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
