About This Moud
Where it comes from
This is a Moud, also written Moude — a finely knotted rug from the weaving villages near Birjand in South Khorasan, eastern Iran, a region better known for tight, quiet Herati repeats. At 298 x 246 cm (9'9" x 8'1") this piece puts that same disciplined knotting to livelier use: a garden grid of individually coloured compartments.
What you see
The first impression is of colour blocks rather than a single field: brick red, cream, navy and steel-blue panels sit side by side, each one a small garden of its own. Within the grid, no two neighbouring squares share a ground colour or a motif — a boteh here, a slender tree there, a spray of flowers in the next. A wide ivory border carries the eye around the edge, dense with red and navy floral vines, closed by a slim navy guard and a plain deep-red line.
How it was made
That variety asked more of the weaver than a repeat would: each compartment had to be drawn and closed off cleanly. The knot count here, 321,000 to 380,000 per square metre on a cotton warp, is what keeps each small motif sharp rather than blurred into its neighbour. The pile is hand-spun wool, twelve millimetres deep, its faint unevenness giving the surface a soft, matte finish. A slight ridge marks every place where one colour block meets the next — the trace of a rug built panel by panel.
At home
A rug this lively suits a dining room or a living room seating group, where the many small gardens give something new to notice each evening. Brick red and navy hold their own against dark furniture; cream keeps the whole from feeling heavy. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, made for daily use, and as light moves across the room each compartment catches it slightly differently.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 298 × 246 cm (7.33 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 7.33 m² that is roughly 2.4 to 2.8 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
