29851 Antique Shiraz Rug

The Antique Shiraz Rug, measuring 3'5" x 5', is a traditional Persian rug crafted in the villages surrounding the city of Shiraz in the Iranian province of Fars.

The Antique Shiraz Rug is distinguished by its use of the Persian (asymmetrical) knot, a technique that creates a distinctive texture and look. While it may not be as finely knotted as other Persian rugs, its bold patterns and durability make it a prized piece for those who appreciate the unique characteristics of Shiraz weaving.
