Description
Mashad rugs are a type of handwoven rug that originate from the city of Mashad in northeastern Iran. Mashad, also known as Mashhad, is an important rug weaving center known for producing high-quality rugs with intricate designs.
Mashad rugs are characterized by their large size, intricate patterns, and rich colour palette. They often feature a central medallion design surrounded by floral motifs, arabesques, and intricate borders. The patterns can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, and the level of detail and craftsmanship is typically of high quality.
These rugs are traditionally made using high-quality wool or a combination of wool and silk. The use of silk in the design adds a luxurious sheen and enhances the fine details of the rug. Mashad rugs are hand-knotted using traditional techniques, resulting in a dense and durable pile.
The colour palette of Mashad rugs is typically rich and vibrant. Deep reds, blues, ivory, and various earthy tones are commonly used. Natural dyes are often employed to achieve these colours, giving the rugs a warm and harmonious appearance.
Mashad rugs are highly regarded for their craftsmanship, artistry, and cultural significance. They are sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts for their beauty and value.
