Maschad

An impressive hand knotted Mashad rug from Iran featuring classic Persian elegance and finely detailed Islimi arabesque design. Mashad has been one of the most important weaving centres of Persia for centuries and is especially renowned for producing large scale city rugs with magnificent floral compositions, harmonious colours and exceptional craftsmanship.
