The Shiraz rug originates from nomadic production. In the area of the city live Ghaschghai-nomads, whose rug knotting tradition goes back a long way. The carpets they produce are traded under the name of Ghashghai, or under the name of Shiras (Shiraz) in the city's bazaars. The city is located in the province of Fars in the ruins of the Persepolis. The city is known among Iranians for its relaxed culture, atmosphere and literary history. The traditional design makes this rug the perfect new addition to add to the vintage home, and would fit perfectly in living room, hallway and office areas, wherever you want to make a statement and add a cultural feel.
