Shiraz
This Shiraz from Persia exists in this form only once. At 310 × 220 cm it works well as a large living-room rug. It also cuts a fine figure in an open-plan living and dining area. Wool makes it robust, the handwork makes it one of a kind. The stated knot density is 160k-200k.

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.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
