Mashad Rugs

A Mashad rug has numerous unique characteristics and is appropriately called after Mashhad, Iran, a city renowned for making high-quality carpets. Wool is piled on top of a cotton foundation to create a soft, comfortable, and long-lasting texture in Mashad rugs. The mashad rug frequently uses the hues ivory, red, and blue and typically includes medallions and pendants woven throughout. Mashad carpets often have a formal appearance that makes them ideal for traditional homes and strongly complements their classical architecture. Mashad carpets can also create a statement in a contemporary home's living room, dining room, or family room if the furniture is basic and contemporary. A bedroom would benefit more from a Mashad carpet with no medallion.
