Shiraz rugs are manufactured in the villages in and around Shiraz, a city that lies in the south western region of persia in the province of Fars. Unlike many of the other city rugs, Shiraz rugs are not produced in large factories that are professionally set up. Instead, they are hand woven by tribal weavers on homemade fixed looms. As the weavers finish working on their creations. They take the finished rugs to the main market to be sold to traders who then put together a substantial collection of these rugs and either export them or sell them off to larger traders.
