This rug is hand-woven by artisans from southwestern Iran, it features a rich, geometric design based on rhombus and diamond motifs typical of the Fars region. It is not only a decorative element but also a piece of authentic Persian craftsmanship that will bring a touch of the Orient and warmth to any interior. Its hand-woven patterns and vibrant colors blend perfectly with natural materials, plants, and accessories from various cultures. It will also make a striking statement, breaking the monotony of modern or minimalist interiors. Shiraz rugs are a type of Persian rug that originates from the region around Shiraz, the capital of Fars Province in southwestern Iran. These rugs are known for their diverse patterns and motifs, reflecting the influence of the many tribes inhabiting the Shiraz region, such as the Ghashghai, Khamseh, Afshar, and others. Shiraz rugs often feature asymmetrical, geometric designs, including diamonds, medallions, boteh patterns (similar to paisley), as well as plant and animal motifs. Patterns can be complex or relatively simple and are often inspired by nature and everyday life. The colors used in Shiraz rugs are typically rich and deep. The most common shades are shades of red, blue, brown, orange, beige, and cream. Dyes are traditionally obtained from natural sources such as plant roots, pomegranates, saffron, and nutshells. These rugs are woven using the asymmetrical Persian knot, which allows for more detailed and precise designs than the symmetrical knot. The rugs are hand-knotted, demonstrating their high quality craftsmanship. Shiraz rugs are most often made from high-quality sheep wool, which is soft and durable. They may sometimes incorporate silk wefts, adding shine and elegance to the rug. Shiraz rugs often feature distinctive fringes at the ends, which are an integral part of the rug's structure. The ends can be decorated with simple or complex motifs, adding a unique character to the rug. Shiraz rugs are valued for their authenticity and unique style, which combines influences from various tribal traditions. They are not only decorative elements for interiors but also a valuable element of Persian culture and craftsmanship. The rug is in original vintage condition. It has signs of age-related wear, minor losses in the fleece, abrasions that create its unique style. Before shipping, the rug will be professionally cleaned and ready for use.
