This bold and tribal beauty hails from the 1960s—an authentic vintage Persian Shiraz that wears its story proudly. Handwoven entirely with wool, it’s got that soft, thick, blankie-like feel underfoot that you just can’t fake.
Its rich red ground is layered with deep earth tones, tribal motifs, and animal elements, offering a glimpse into nomadic symbolism and life. The pattern shifts and sings with movement, and those raw, unruly fringes? They’re the perfect finishing touch.
You’ll notice some gentle sun-fade—earned from a life well-lived and full of light. And yes, there are a few small areas of moth etching (please see the two closer-upper pics), but nothing that takes away from its strength or soul—just signs of a rug that’s lived a little.
This Shiraz is durable, full of presence, and ready to ground your space with a story that’s still unfolding.
