This black Shiraz rug displays a commanding central medallion surrounded by intricate geometric borders in deep charcoal and ivory accents. The rich black field creates a sophisticated foundation that anchors the traditional Persian motifs, while subtle design elements in lighter tones prevent the dark palette from feeling heavy. The overall effect is both dramatic and refined, offering a bold centerpiece that maintains classical elegance.

Handwoven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this rug showcases the renowned craftsmanship of the Shiraz region. The dense 100% wool construction features premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster, with a tight 25-35 knots per square inch creating exceptional detail and longevity. Natural dyes ensure the deep black coloration will remain rich and fade-resistant for decades of use.

At nearly 8 by 10 feet, this substantial rug suits dining rooms, living areas, or master bedrooms where its dark sophistication can ground furniture groupings without overwhelming the space. The generous proportions work particularly well in contemporary and traditional interiors that benefit from a strong foundational element.
