Story Behind the Art: Shiraz rugs originate from the rural villages around the city of Shiraz in Iran’s Fars Province and are traditionally handwoven by nomadic groups such as the Qashqai and Afshari tribes. These rugs feature bold, geometric compositions typically diamonds and hexagons paired with tribal motifs of animals, plants, and everyday life. Woven from 100% hand-spun wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes, Shiraz rugs are known for their earthy palette of reds, oranges, and browns. While their knot counts are relatively low, ranging from 40 to 150 KPSI, they boast a durable build and a rustic, lived-in charm that reflects the nomadic lifestyle and cultural storytelling of their makers.
