Mashad is the capital city of the province of Khorasan in northeastern Iran. Mashad is also a trade center for the rugs of its neighboring villages and tribes. The majority of Mashad rugs are woven in workshops; others are made on home-based looms in surrounding villages. Mashad mostly produces large rugs. The majority of Mashad rugs are woven with the asymmetrical (Persian) knot although the symmetrical (Turkish) knot is found.

This rug is hand-made in Iran of wool fiber with a cotton backing. It is a one of a kind rug that is meant to become an heirloom.

Hand wash only, no chemicals. Colors will fade over time if placed in direct sunlight.
