Rare Vintage Persian Shiraz Tribal Rug | Large 7x5ft | Striking Emerald Green & Madder Red

A Magnificent Piece of Nomadic History for Your Home

Up for sale is a stunning, mid-20th-century Persian Shiraz tribal rug, hand-knotted by nomadic weavers in the Fars province of Southwest Iran. Measuring approximately 7ft x 5ft (215cm x 150cm), this "room-size" rug features the rugged, honest construction and soulful geometric designs that have made Shiraz rugs a staple of British country homes and eclectic interiors for decades.

The Rare "Sacred" Green

What sets this particular piece apart is the exceptional use of vibrant green throughout the borders and central motifs. Historically, green was one of the most difficult colours for tribal weavers to achieve, requiring a laborious "double-dyeing" process—first in yellow (weld) and then in blue (indigo). Because of the skill and expense involved, green was often reserved for the highest quality tribal pieces and is a hallmark of a superior weave.
