This carpet from Moud, a city 300 kilometres south of Mashhad, impresses at first glance. The typical Herati pattern or garden design is appreciated by connoisseurs and lovers of genuine Persian rugs. If you are looking for a handmade rug of fine quality with a very unique and distinctive design, this type of rug is the perfect choice.

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.
