Persian Shiraz Carpet

Hailing from Shiraz, a city in southern Iran, Shiraz rugs have a long and storied history dating back to the 16th century. This carpet woven by nomadic tribes in the region, who passed down their unique weaving techniques through generations. Influenced by the Safavid dynasty in Persia, Shiraz rugs often feature Turkish and Kurdish weaving styles and incorporate designs from prominent tribes such as the Qashqai and Afshar. These carpets serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of nomadic artistry in the face of time and changing socio-political landscapes.  This is an illustration of a classic, dual-columned, highly distinct Shiraz. 

All our carpets and kilims are one-of-a-kind, hand-knotted or hand-woven with 100% hand spun wool pile.  Color variation is called "Abrash" which is due to none-bleached wool's absorption of the dyes used or the carpet or kilim maybe woven with 2 different batches of dyed wool, which was available at the time.

If you like uniformity-a soulless item-these are not for you.  These are the reminiscent of a disappearing art.
