Antique Shiraz Wool Rug - C. 1900-1920 - 5'10" X 10'5"

Burnished by time and imbued with history, our unrivaled collection of vintage and antique rugs has been curated with an artist's eye for uncommon beauty, character, quality and provenance. Crafted by generations of nomadic weavers, villagers and historic workshops, each rug is made by hand and tells a unique story of a place and a people, expressing their craft in one-of-a-kind creations. From the royal carpets of Agra to masterful French Aubussons, the jewel motifs of classical Persians to the geometry of Turkish Oushaks, our singular rugs represent the world's finest rug-making traditions.

Woven in southern Persia by tribal and village weavers near the city of Shiraz, these carpets represent a vibrant nomadic weaving tradition. Produced primarily for domestic use, they feature bold geometric forms, simplified medallions and asymmetrical compositions that reflect the region's influences. Hand knotted from spun wool, Shiraz rugs are prized for their rich texture and dense, durable pile.
