ORIGIN

Moud respectively Mood is the probably world-wide most famous borough of South Khorasan's provincial capital Birjand in Iran. The last prince of Birjand was Shah Seyyed Ali Kazemi who came from Moud, a relative of the emperor Shah Reza Pahlavi and the Prime minister Asadollah Alam. Moud woollen blankets and carpets have normally a curvilinear design with a sun flower shaped picture in the center. The production of such carpets is usually very high-quality and these are also accordingly expensive therefore. These carpets are made of wool.

These attained their special valuation by the decree of the Safawid emperor Shah Abbas I. (Persia), who not only the building of the fortresses in this region arranged, but also retained the original purely Persian design styles and knot techniques.
