The city of Shiraz has been a major city since the advent of Iran. The capital of the Fars province in the south, Shiraz is home to the famous Qashqai tribe.

Shiraz rugs are woven on a cotton or wool foundation with a woollen pile. These nomadic rugs are almost always geometrical in style. Patterns tend to be small medallions or geometric figures scattered across the rugs. Strong reds and brown are the most typical colour of Shiraz rugs, they are extremely hard wearing and compliment wooden floors well. The average knot count is around 120 KPSI.
