Shiraz is both a city and an important market name within Fars in southwestern Iran. Encyclopaedia Iranica distinguishes carpets made at Shiraz from tribal rugs woven by Qashqai groups in Fars. It also explains that many southern Iranian kilims were marketed through Shiraz and consequently became known by that name. A Shiraz label can therefore carry regional and trade context without proving one tribe, construction, design or material.
Read the Current Selection Carefully
This store collection is generated from a Shiraz catalog classification plus positive inventory. It currently brings together pile rugs, flatwoven kilims and runners. Some product titles use the broader Shiraz label, while others record more specific Qashqai, Gabbeh or Abadeh attributions. Those terms are not interchangeable, and collection membership alone does not establish who wove a piece. Use each product page to compare the stated origin, construction, materials, foundation, exact dimensions, condition and repairs. Pattern and colour are useful observations, but they should not carry the full attribution.
Compare Related Fars Labels
Use the Shiraz entry in our illustrated encyclopedia of Persian rug types for wider context, then browse the dedicated Qashqai Rugs, Gabbeh Rugs and Abadeh Rugs collections to compare current catalog labels. The broader Persian Rugs collection is useful when origin is the main filter. Availability changes as one-of-a-kind pieces sell, so the individual product record remains the final shopping reference.
