This exquisite Persian rug originates from Mashad, located in the province of Khorasan
and is made of 100% wool.
Mashad is a city of two million citizens, located in eastern Iran. It is probably the holiest of Iran, as it contains the tomb of the eighth Imman.
Every year, a large number of well over 10 million pilgrims visit the grave and populate the city.
The wool from the Khorasan region – the one in which Mashad lies – is among the best in the country. It gives the carpets from Mashad a particularly soft touch.
Dominating colours are dark red, blue and khaki. Floral patterns usually frame a central medallion of these carpets, which are often knotted in large sizes.
