== History ==
−'''Shahreza''' is a city located on the road between ISFAHAN and Shiraz in the '''Isfahan''' Province of central Iran. Shahreza rugs are known in the rug trade from as early as the first quarter of the twentieth century. The rugs were made for domestic use and are generally woven in identical pairs in design and color. After being used in the household domestically for approximately ten to twenty-five years, Shahreza rugs are then resold in the bazaars for foreign export.<br>
−They range from medium to good in grade quality: By the late twentieth century, many Shahreza weavers switched from local traditional designs to make rugs similar to those of other Iranian weaving regions in accordance with domestic and foreign consumer demand.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.523-524</ref><br>
−== Materials ==

−== Techniques and structures ==
−=== Color and dyeing ===
−The colors have a vivid appearance, with reddish-brown, beige, or dark blue for the field, borders, and medallion. Shades of brown, green, blue, gold, gray, and cinnamon accentuate the flowers and other design elements.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.523-524</ref><br>
