Shiraz carpets: These carpets are from the southwestern province of Persia, the famous area of Shiraz, where Persepolis, the center of the ancient Persian Empire, used to take place. Shiraz carpets are nomadic rugs, decorated with geometric patterns, designed in a rustic-primitive style, often with one or more diamonds in the center. The color that predominates in this category is deep red or orange and blue. Very popular motifs of these rugs are the stylized flowers and animals, with luck of perspective. These carpets are durable and of high quality wool, combined often with cotton. Therefore, they have extensive use not only in modern houses, but in classic ones, as well.
