Mashad is the capital of Khorasan Province in northeastern Iran and a significant carpet weaving centre. Mashad carpets are characterised by curvilinear geometric-floral compositions woven in wool on wool. The tradition produces pieces with a solidity and warmth suited to regular domestic use.
The deep midnight blue all-over ground at 4 ft 2 in x 5 ft 10 in is bold and architectural. A dark all-over ground on a Mashad carpet is unusual and gives this piece a drama and intensity that the more common red grounds do not produce. At 121 knots per square inch the detail is good for a wool on wool piece.
In your home: Works as an accent piece in a sitting room, study or bedroom. The dark ground pairs with gold, cream and warm neutral tones. Suits contemporary and traditional interiors.
