Persian Maschad An above average quality carpet from the well-known Khorassan province in northeastern Iran. The city of Maschad lies centrally in the province and is a holy city with ancient carpet making traditions. This Maschad carpet is pretty as a picture, hand made in a deep red colour and of great distinction. Carpet-lovers become full of enthusiasm over this carpet, which, with its sombre shine and noble wool is well worth its price.
