Shiraz Persian carpets feature the characteristic design of geometric patterns and diamond-shaped . to promote their exclusivity.

These Oriental area rugs use the Persian symmetrical knot, with an average knot count of around 120 knots per square inch, and knot density of 80 000 – 160 000 knots per square meter

using strong red and brown colors that can enhance every environment and room.

Shiraz rugs can always draw the attention, even though a room may be full of precious objects. They create a soft and calm atmosphere and fit in every décor trend from traditional to modern.

Shiraz rugs patterns include small medallions and nomadic patterns. Meanwhile, images of birds, deer, lions, peacocks, gazelles and other animals are part of the rugs’ design.

Shiraz rugs may look like Qashqai rugs, due to the influences of this tribe over Shiraz culture and people. Qashqai tribes are nomads that roam around in southern Iran just like they have done during the recent centuries. This tribe has induced some elements in the traditional production of rugs and carpets in the city of Shiraz.
