Located in north-eastern Iran, Mashad is the capital of Khorassan province and an important center of the carpet weaving industry. It is also considered the most holy city of Iran, because it houses the shrine of Imam Reza who is very dear to Muslims around the world. Mashad carpets have elegant medallions on floral fields, with color schemes of red or blue. They sometimes copy classic Kashan patterns, and sometimes all-over Herati details which may be marketed as Khorassan. |

Lylyan rugs are tribal rugs made by nomadic Kurdish people of the province of Markad, in western Iran. These people are descendants of the Kurds, and their weaving styles and designs are incredibly similar. With bright and lively colors, Lori carpets often have traditional floral patterns, but geometric ones are also seen. These rugs were not originally made to be sold, but meant as dowry items of practical value such as floor coverings, blankets, storage bags, saddle blankets, and as family insurance against future hard times. |
