Mashhad,
the capital of the Khorasan is the largest weaving centre in
north east of Iran. In Mashhad there is a tradition of
weaving in the style of Kerman or Yazd.
Mashhad has
the reputation of not being very hard wearing, owing to the
weakening of the yarn in the dyeing process. Mashhad carpets
belong to the middle category, but some interesting carpets
are found.
Typical
designs of Mashhad carpets are Shah-Abbasi Medallion
Arabesque and HarMi. The dominant colours are red and brown.
Many of
Mashhad carpets bear the weaver's signature.
Some of
them are Amoghil, Saber, Shesh-Kalani, Zarrineh, and Kafi.
