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.
The Leaves design is our artistic variation on the Agra carpets of the Mughal Empire. Agra has long been the capital of the famed Mughal Empire. Agra expanded greatly during the second half of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. Carpet weavers were brought here from all over the Persian Empire to enhance carpet weaving. Today Agra still contains a wealth of remarkable carpets skillfully woven by the artisans of this great city.
