Khorasan is an immense province, which occupies the northeast quadrant of Iran. Much of it is remote and sparsely populated. Khorasan is one of the major wool-producing areas of Iran. Many different ethnic groups reside in Khorasan. Each group weaves rugs with characteristics that reflect the ethnic origin of the weaver. Mashad serves as the major market place for these rugs. Mashad carpets are woven in the city of Mashad as well as in the 500 or more towns and villages. Characteristic The Shah Abbas design on a burgundy or mauve background is most commonly associated with Mashad rugs. The design may be used as an all-over pattern or in conjunction with central medallion. Blue, pink, ivory, yellow, green, and orange are used for the motifs. Some typical Mashed medallion work around one essential style with a dark-blue sixteen point medallion, dark-blue border, dark-blue corners and a red ground filled with large shah Abbas motifs on a frame-work of fairly well ordered islimis. Also, the medallion may be oval. The ground motifs rather more like sprays of flowers than Shah Abbas palmettes. The wool used for the pile is soft and lustrous. The pile is medium to high quality and quite dense. Fine-quality Mashad rugs occasionally are woven with an inscription or signature. Inscriptions are obvious when woven in the background or in a cartouche; others are not as apparent and blend with a design or a border pattern. Inscriptions most often encountered are in Persian or Armenian script. Persian inscriptions are read from right to left. Very fine-quality Mashad rugs frequently have their sides finished with a wide multi-cord selvedge in silk or wool. The end part of Mashad rugs are often finished in multi-colored bands. The last several rows of pile are knotted in 2 to 3 inch portions of yellow, green, orange, ivory, pink, and light to dark blue. "Astan Ghods Razavi" is a large organization based in Mashad that owns many manufacturing factories, wholesale and retail outlets, buildings, as well as other property in the "Khorasan" province. Before revolution in Iran, the rug-producing section of "AGR" was not very active, weaving only for the "Imam Reza Temple" in Mashad. They also produced very few pieces as special order and in some unusual sizes. Four years after revolution, the AGR rug company was established, with a board of directors consisting of some well-known rug dealers from Mashad. They work voluntarily and do not get paid for their work. Rugs produced by "AGR" have high quality of wool and dye, and tfore sold at relatively higher prices in the market. It is expected that their rugs will look nicer and nicer as they age. In general, designs are flowers with or without a medallion. This organization takes good care of its weavers and artists with good salaries and other benefits. With the heavy investment tied into the rug weaving within "AGR", the reported profits have b... read more
