Meshkin rugs are robust, tribal weavings from the rugged highlands of northwest Persia, near Mount Sabalan. Made mostly by Azeri-speaking villagers, these rugs are known for their bold geometry, strong borders, and earthy palettes of madder red, deep indigo, and undyed wool. They are woven with handspun local wool, designed more for resilience and rhythm than polish—true to their mountainous origin.
Harsh winters, high altitude, and a mix of Persian and Caucasian influences shape both the craft and the culture. Meshkin is not a showy town, but what comes from it, like this runner, carries the quiet strength of generations.
