the Moud carpets, which are among the most beautiful in the world, are in the city Mashad hand knotted in Khorasan province. This large weaving center is also a trading center for the carpets made in the neighboring towns and villages. You will find that the Moud rugs have some characteristics that are similar to those of an in Birjand manufactured carpet. Although most rugs are woven in workshops around the city, one can occasionally find Moud rugs woven on a home loom. Skilled artisans use the asymmetrical Persian knot in the creation of these very special rugs as it offers more precision when knotting the intricate, detailed patterns.
Moud rugs have been known in the antique trade since the turn of the twentieth century. The patterns are floral, either as a medallion or as an all-over. The Shah Abbas palmette with leaf and tendril motifs is a popular Moud pattern. Occasionally, the traditional boteh (paisley), herati (fish), trellis, or minakhani (trellis connected with rosettes) patterns are woven for the field. The border has traditional Khorasan-pattern with large palmettes, leaves and tendrils.
The usual color feature of Moud rugs is pomegranate red (from cochineal) in the field, although a small percentage is dark blue instead. Additionally, there are various shades of red, blue, beige, gold, green, cinnamon, brown, and gray in the borders, pattern elements, and outlines.
Moud Khorasan sizes range from about a meter by a meter to large rooms. They have a cotton foundation and a wool pile. The Persian (asymmetric) knot is always used. Early weaves are of secondary quality compared to the Meshad Khorasan carpets. Moud rugs were produced in large quantities for the middle class in both the domestic and Western markets. After the Second World War, some weavers from Moud abandoned their traditional patterns and made carpets similar to those from other weaving regions in the Persian were similar to meet the demand of domestic and foreign export customers.
Moud is a town south of Birdjan and Mashad with a long history of weaving. With their very distinctive design, they are easy to recognize and enjoy an excellent reputation. Moud is 300 km south of Mashhad. Your quality is high. Silk is often used to bring out the sheen of the pile. But that is not a must. 220.000 to 450.000 knots per square meter is a high number. So production takes time. You can find these rugs in red, blue, and beige shapes. These rugs are made with two weft threads.
The Herati pattern of the Moud rugs is dominant and immediately recognizable. In most cases, it occupies most of the surface. Some rugs also have a central medallion reminiscent of a star or hexagon. Many Persian carpets from Moud show motifs from Persian gardens in small rectangular borders. Such motifs are otherwise only used in Bakhtiari carpets. The bold colors come mostly from the blue and red color ranges. The colors come out even better with a contrasting ivory background. Since Moud carpets vary greatly in quality, the right choice of carpet is all the more important. Basically, a first decision about the knot density makes sense. In addition, attention must be paid to the material of the knotting: Fine carpets have a share of silk, which has been worked into the individual details and literally lets them shine in the light.
Anyone who buys a moud from our online shop will not regret it. The quality standards are always met. Silk woven into the carpets increases the shine of the moud carpets. Different variants can be found in our shop for Persian carpets. The Herati pattern is characteristic of this type of Persian carpet. Other carpets from this region of Persia include the Birdshand and the cashmar.
