Shiraz Persian Rug 178 × 290 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 178 × 290 cm. That is roughly 5.16 m² of floor, about 5.8' × 9.5'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
