Shiraz Rugs are an easily recognisable group in the marketplace but the rugs come from a mixed origin. As a group they draw on the traditions of the weavers. There are Qashqai, groups formerly in the Khamseh Confederation, Afshar, Lori, Bahktiari, and even Baluch as well as persian Vilagers. As families settled and underwent Persianification particularly under the White Revolution the rugs changed. Sure we can at times see the origins of rugs but even if we know that a rug derives from Qahqai for instance a Shiraz rug will still be enough different to be a seperate type. One of the key differences is that while there has long been a commercial aspect to Qashqai rugs their Shiraz derivatives are made to sell and not to use.

? Choosing the right rug can transform your living room!

• Size matters: Make sure your rug fits the seating area all furniture legs should rest on it or at least the front legs.
• Style & color: Pick a rug that complements your furniture. Neutral rugs work well for bold furniture, while colorful rugs add vibrancy to neutral rooms.
• Material: For high-traffic areas, choose durable materials like wool or synthetic fibers.
• Texture: Plush rugs add warmth, while flat-weave rugs are easier to maintain.
