The city of Shiraz is in the Iranian Province of Fars. This is the only carpet style that illustrates beautiful nightingale designs. This pretty bird is represented in angular shapes. For the Shiraz culture, the nightingale signifies fulfillment and happiness.

Vibrant And Bright Shades

Unlike the muted Oushak , or the deep dark Turkoman burgundies, Shiraz rugs exhibit vibrant and bright shades of red, orange and brown, with tribal and geometric shapes that spread symmetrically across the rug. 

An Excellent Choice For A Runner

Shiraz rugs are one of the most popular designs on the market today. The classic designs and colors are easily comparable to many interior design styles. We find many of our customers choose Shiraz rugs and runners to brighten up the kitchen and bathroom.
