This region of Iran was invaded by Mongols during the 13th century, bringing with them a very bold style of rug weaving and the predominant use of the Turkish knot.

Stair runners improve safety by providing traction on the stairs, in addition to protecting your wood from wear and tear, and quite effectively reducing noise. | + | Meshkinshar rugs origunate from Meshkinshahr, located west of Ardabil in northwestern Iran.
