A city and a major rug weaving centre in northeast Iran. Oriental rugs production began in the late 19th century and most rugs from this region are large with a deep red background. Mashad Rugs are double wefted and woven on a cotton foundation. Frequently, Mashad carpets have very traditional Persian designs and include a rounded centre medallion with a vase in each one of the rug's corners.
