Characteristics of the Origin (Shiraz)

Shiraz is a city in southwestern Iran known for its specialty tribal rugs. Local ethnic groups hand-weave these rugs using traditional methods, and after completion, they are sold in nearby bazaars. The pile of these rugs is mainly made of wool, providing warmth and durability to the entire rug. A characteristic feature of these rugs is the design commonly found in tribal rugs, such as medallions and geometric patterns, in the center. Generally, the red or brown fields are adorned with a rich variety of colors, including beige, yellow, blue, and green, giving the entire rug a vibrant palette. Thus, Shiraz rugs are known for their warm designs and color schemes.
