A late 19th-century Persian Khorassan Moud carpet from around 1890, measuring approximately 304.9 × 457.5 cm (about 10’0″ × 15’0″). The composition pairs a peach-toned field with a brown border, executed in the finely drawn small-scale vocabulary that defines the Moud weaving tradition.
Moud is a village in the Khorassan province of northeastern Persia (now Iran), historically known for one of the highest knot counts in Persian carpet production. Moud carpets are typically built around small-scale repeating floral and herati vocabularies, executed at high knot densities on cotton foundations — characteristics that have made them particularly favored among formal antique carpet collectors.
