Wool on cotton
Once a nomadic tribe, the Shahsavan have largely settled in villages over recent decades. A number of their communities now live around the historic town of Saveh in central Persia, where their weaving traditions continue with subtle adaptations shaped by the surrounding cultures.
This finely woven rug is a recent creation by the Shahsavan of Saveh, featuring a distinctive floral pattern that departs from older tribal motifs and reflects a blending of influences. Woven with wool on a cotton foundation, it showcases the weavers’ ability to maintain their heritage while embracing new aesthetic sensibilities.
The result is a vibrant and characterful piece that speaks both of rooted tradition and regional evolution—suitable for collectors and interiors seeking authenticity with charm.
