Mashad carpets: The holy city of Mashad is located at the northeast side of Persia. The dominant pattern in these rugs is a big floral medallion in the center, surrounded by floral motifs in arabesques, colored with dark blue and wine red. The wool used is very soft, but thick and greasy. These carpets are very similar to Kashan rugs, in colors and designs. Many times light colors are also preferred by manufacturers, mainly used at the background and they are used to decorate over-sized homes and places.
