Shiraz
This one-of-a-kind piece in red combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 160k-200k knots per m², the painstaking work shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine rendering of the details. At 245 × 177 cm it works well as a living room rug. The harmonious colours and the characteristic texture lend any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

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.
Material
The pile of this Shiraz was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. It is a renewable, natural raw material with a whole range of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally protected against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, has a balancing effect on the indoor climate and absorbs sound.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.
We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.
That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
