Information about Shiraz Patina carpet EXE210 from Persia / Iran. CarpetVista Patina is a series of carefully selected Persian carpets. These carpets have a certain wear that does not reduce the impression of them, and is in fact part of their beautiful natural aging process. Common to these selected carpets is that they are at least 40 years old and have an elegance and harmony in both pattern and colour. We select them in order to preserve the great cultural heritage and to allow them to be discovered by a new generation.
All Patina carpets are washed, then thoroughly examined for any potential damage that might compromise the carpet's continued sustainability. If the pile is unevenly worn or if the surface layer of the pile is damaged this is carefully and gently polished down to give a beautiful smooth surface. The end result is the best of both worlds, a sustainable carpet which clearly perceives the majestic feeling that only an older carpet can reflect. You also get a beautiful carpet that will not only continue to increase in value, but that is moreover a pleasure to behold.
These older oriental carpets are unique works of art that deserve to be preserved and used by several generations to come.

This carpet is knotted in the province of Fars in southwest of Iran, with the city of Shiraz as the capital province. The carpet was originally knotted by nomads that lived in the area, but nowadays most of them are resident in smaller villages in the province. The pattern in the carpet is typical for nomads with motifs of simple geometric figures and often with one or more rhombs in the center. The bottom colour is often red and the motifs in different blue nuances. There are also stilized flowers and bird motifs. The carpets are considered to be rustic and of good quality.
