Gooch Oriental Shiraz Rug, Red, L174 x W111 cm

A selection of truly unique and totally individual traditional hand-knotted rugs, this range from Gooch Oriental showcases rugs created by different artisans across town and village locations across the world, including traditional Persian creations. Each piece is carefully selected by the Gooch Oriental team to ensure it's authenticity, quality and finish. Each one is knotted by hand, an intricate process using traditional hand knotting techniques. As such, no two pieces are the same, meaning you can add an authentic and unique piece of crafted design into your home, whilst supporting this heritage industry. The Shiraz rug shares many of the same features to the Quashgai design and is also made in South Western Persia. They are made by Nomadic tribes which move twice a year between different pastures. Each piece is unique with design typically quite simple and geometric including a central diamond lozenge motif. They are hand knotted freely without following a pattern and taught from generation to generation. Characteristically the colours used in this design include shades of deep red combined with dark blue and elements of green and white and usually made using 100% local wool with a mixture of both vegetable and chemical dyes. In 1sqm of Shiraz rugs there would be around 200000 + knots giving a mid-density pile. For more information on this rug, email [email protected] About your new rug We recommend.
