MASHAD 386x200cm

Description

The use of flowers and other large decorative elements, alongside narrow stripes of Khatayi, are the particular characteristics of such patterns and motifs. The most charming of which, are displayed in the holy shrine of Imam Reza. Most of such carpets are woven and made in Astane Qods Razavi Production Company. During the past two decades, the weavers of these carpets have skillfully been able to create a spectacular harmony between the classic and modern styles. Wide area coverage combined with the use of red pigment in the inner field of Mashad city woven carpets gives it an excellent appearance. From the end of the last century, reputable carpet weavers such as the Amou Oghli Family, Abbass Qoli Saber, and Mohammad Ebrahim Makhmalbaf, contributed to the popularity of Mashad carpets in the Persian car-pet-weaving field. In fact, carpets woven by the Amou Oghli Family have obtained a special position in Iranian contemporary city woven carpets.
