This Shiraz rug presents a commanding red field anchored by a bold central medallion in deep navy and ivory. Traditional palmettes and floral motifs dance across the crimson ground, while a classic border frames the composition with geometric precision. The rich red creates a warm, inviting presence that draws the eye without overwhelming a space. The saturated palette speaks to generations of Persian design heritage.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers, this rug showcases the enduring Shirazi tradition that has flourished for centuries. The foundation uses high-quality Ghazni wool, known for its durability and natural sheen that develops beautifully over time. With 25-35 knots per square inch, each motif displays crisp definition and structural integrity. This density ensures the rug will maintain its beauty through decades of regular use.

At 5' 1" x 6' 4", this piece suits dining rooms, studies, or living areas where substantial furniture arrangements benefit from a grounding element.
