Persian Shiraz

£375£525In stock, ready to ship

A genuine hand-knotted Persian Shiraz from the tribal weaving lands of southern Iran — a beautifully balanced piece with the characteristic bold geometry and warm, earthy palette the region is known for. Woven with soft fine wool for the plush, durable pile, set upon a strong cotton base that keeps the rug stable and neatly shaped through years of use. Two striking, interlocking diamond medallions anchor the design — deep espresso and ivory against a gentle dusty rose field, outlined in crisp white and warm sand. Every corner is filled with tiny repeating tribal florals and geometric motifs, creating a dense, textured feel that feels richly traditional yet quietly understated. The multi-band border layers diamonds, zigzags, and star shapes in complementary tones — perfectly framing the rug from edge to edge. At 147 × 98 cm, this is a beautifully proportioned accent — ideal beside a bed, in a narrow hallway, study, or to warm a smaller seating area. The muted, earthy reds and neutrals sit beautifully alongside oak, walnut, leather, and both light and dark decor — an authentic tribal Persian rug with timeless, easy-living charm.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 200 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 446,587 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 0 months.

How that is worked out: 58 in × 39 in × 200 knots per sq. in. ≈ 446,587 — that is 147 × 98 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
