FAQs

Shiraz carpets are handwoven floor coverings produced by nomadic and village tribes in the Fars province of south-west Persia, historically influenced by Qashqai, Khamse, and Luri weaving traditions.

Authentic pieces typically feature handspun wool pile knotted onto wool or sometimes cotton foundations, dyed using natural materials such as madder root and indigo.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregularity of the hand-knotted pile, natural colour variations known as abrash, symmetrical or asymmetrical knot types, and traditional geometric or medallion motifs.

Such textiles function as foundational statement pieces, grounding modern minimalist spaces or adding textural warmth and rich colour palettes to eclectic interiors.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brushes, professional organic cleaning when necessary, and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to protect natural dyes.
