Origin

The city of Shiraz is the capital of the Iranian province of Shiraz and lies in the south-west of Iran. The rugs of this region were originally knotted by the nomads who lived there. By now most of them have settled in smaller villages across the province.

The pattern of the so-called Shiraz rugs is made up – as is typical of nomadic work – of motifs with simple geometric figures and diamonds at the centre of the rug. The field is often red, while the motifs are worked in various shades of blue. Now and then rugs with stylised flowers and bird motifs are knotted as well.

Shiraz rugs are traditional village rugs and therefore very hard-wearing and of extremely solid quality.

This Old Shiraz is around 86 years old and a real piece for collectors.

Material

The pile of this Old Shiraz was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by shearing sheep gently. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin content of the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Old Shiraz is made of new wool.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Old Shiraz. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 86. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but unrestored condition. The pile is slightly worn. The edges are damaged in places. The fringes could do with a repair. We have not restored this Old Shiraz because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course gladly restore it for you. Either way, this Old Shiraz will give you pleasure for decades to come.
