Distressed Shiraz Persian Area Rug, Black & Charcoal | Washable Dark Vintage Design
Bring dramatic, modern-traditional energy home with our Distressed Shiraz Persian Area Rug in Black and Charcoal — a moody reinterpretation of the classic Qashqai Shiraz design, with three vertical diamond medallions, geometric tribal figures, and stepped borders all rendered on a deep black-and-taupe ground. The intentional distressed wash gives the rug an antique, hand-aged finish that's currently a favorite of designers working in modern-traditional and dark academia interiors.
Available in 11 Sizes — From Entryway Mats to Oversized Living Rooms
Sizes range from a 2'x3' accent for an entry to a 9'7"x14' statement piece for an open-plan living room. Popular sizes include 5'x7', 6'x9', 8'x10', and 9'x12'. Runners are available up to 12 feet for hallways.
Why Machine Washable Rugs Work So Well
- Pet-friendly: Pet hair, mud, and accidents wash out — no professional cleaning needed.
- Kid-friendly: Spilled juice, paint, and food won't ruin it.
- Allergy-friendly: Regular washing removes dust, dander, and pollen.
- Lightweight: Easy to roll up, clean, and reposition.
Where This Rug Works Best
- Living rooms: Black-and-taupe palette anchors charcoal sofas, leather, brass, and dark wood beautifully.
- Bedrooms: Moody depth creates a cocooning, atmospheric retreat.
- Home offices & libraries: The rug of choice for dark academia and richly-styled studies.
- Dining rooms: Saturated drama under modern wood or upholstered tables.
- Hallways & entryways: Dark tones forgive everyday foot traffic and dirt.
About the Distressed Shiraz Pattern
Shiraz rugs originate from the Qashqai and Khamseh nomadic tribes of Iran's Fars province. Their hallmark composition — vertical diamond medallions framed by tribal symbols, eight-pointed stars, and stylized creatures — has been a fixture of Persian weaving for centuries. The intentionally distressed, over-dyed black finish on this version is a contemporary take, drawing on the same dark, layered aesthetic that has made vintage faded Persians one of the most copied looks in modern interior design.

We use this rig outside for our patio. It feels good on bare feet; is sturdy enough to keep from blowing and we still love the color (non fading) after several months. I’ll buy this again for a second outdoor seating area

This is my second purchase. I bought one and loved the quality, so I bought another. Colors are beautiful, and the rug stays in place- even with 3 dogs. It is soft to the touch and layed out flat within 24 hours. And it has NO aweful smell. Great purchase!
