Today’s Persian area rugs are direct descendants of those crafted in the 16th and 17th centuries when artistry meant perfection. Continuing to draw from this inspiration, Couristan has recreated the timeless beauty and time-honored artistry of those authentic Persian designs which have been steadfast for centuries, in a collection of area rugs called Shiraz. Hand-crafted of the finest 100% semi-worsted New Zealand wool, the array of subdued, but rich colors that saturate the collection’s lush pile, enhances the brilliance of each authentic Persian design that is emulated in this collection. A unique washing process provides a rich luster finish to the collection’s overall appearance and aesthetic value. Creating a marriage between the past and present each old-world design in Shiraz’s assortment offers a sense of timeless charm and warmth, allowing the collection’s beautiful designs to be displayed in any room in the home.
