Mood

Persian Carpets from Mood are handwoven in the small town of Mood, located in South Khorasan Province in eastern Iran.

Mood carpets are best known for their signature “Herati pattern,” a detailed, repeating geometric motif made up of small flowers and leaves spread evenly across the surface. You’ll also find more poetic and ornate designs, such as a central medallion resembling a star or sun, or garden-inspired motifs that depict trees and flowers within intricately divided panels.

The color palette typically features soft ivory or beige backgrounds, beautifully accented with rich shades of red, blue, and brown. While not overly bold, the harmonious blend of colors gives these carpets a subtle elegance and the refined beauty characteristic of Persian rugs.

Crafted from high-quality wool, Mood carpets are known for their smooth texture and durability. The pile is densely packed, with knot counts ranging from 250,000 to 450,000 knots per square meter, placing them among the finer weaves. This high density allows for impressive pattern precision and depth. The pile is trimmed relatively short during finishing, which not only enhances the clarity of the design but also provides a soft, comfortable feel underfoot.

Despite their exceptional quality, Mood carpets are relatively affordable in the market. While they’ve long been cherished in Europe, they remain something of a hidden gem in Japan—admired by those in the know, but not yet widely recognized.
