Subtle elegance from East Iran

Moud rugs are known for their sophisticated Herati (or fish scale) pattern and often understated, harmonious colour schemes. They are made in villages around the city of Birjand, where craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation. The knots are usually fine and regular, so that the patterns come out sharp and detailed.
