Description

Excellent Mashad carpet from Northeast of Iran. Allover floral design on a cream background, framed with a floral blue border. This piece is woven by “Astane Ghods”. Almost all their production is large pieces for the Holy Shrine of the 8th Shia Emam in Mashad. They use the best weavers as it is an honour to weave for the Shrine and the highest quality wool and natural dyes. Their carpets are invariably excellent and difficult to find in the open market. After 20 to 30 years of use in the Shrine, they are auctioned off in Mashad, and because of their provenance, they are very sought after by the Iranian public. The signature reads “Astane Ghods Carpet Factory”.

What Our Customers Say About Us?

Everything was perfect - very nice selection of fine and authentic kilims (my interest), shipment to Germany was super fast, contact very friendly. When there was a problem with the mail for one purchase i was constantly informed. And finally also this piece arrived in very good shape.

A Thoroughly excellent service. Mehdi was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He brought 7 rugs to our home so that we could see them in situ which made the whole process so much easier. Would definitely recommend Sharif & Co if you are after a carpet or rug.

Friendly and helpful advice without any sales push. I’ve bought two items from this dealer which is quite unusual. I’m very happy with what I bought and would again buy from him. I watch his web site to see what new items come in.

As ever, a very kindly, helpful visit by Mehdi Sharafi himself, with all the three pieces I was choosing from. His expertise is always a pleasure to witness! And the item I bought is superb. Payment and the website couldn’t be easier. MANY THANKS!

I was extremely surprised at how quickly the rug arrived, less than 24 hours. The item was exactly as described and pictured. Thank you very much.

I bought a Heidarian rug online from Sharafi & Co. Their communications were excellent, they arranged delivery very swiftly, and I'm really delighted with the rug, it's beautiful.
