Story Behind the Art
Mashad is the capital city of the province of Khorasan in northeastern Iran. Most Mashad rugs are woven in workshops; others are made on home based looms in surrounding villages. The majority of Mashad rugs are woven with the asymmetrical (Persian) knot, although the symmetrical (Turkish) knot is found. One unique characteristic, which helps differentiate Mashad rugs from Kashan rugs, but not necessarily from Kerman rugs, is their elongated corners. The corners of the Mashad medallion-and-corner layout are so long that they either almost meet or do meet near the center of each border on each side of the rug. The weavers' of Mashad rugs use deep red for the background and dark blue for the medallion, corners, and the border. However, all colors are used in creating the motifs.
