Ghuchan is a city in the north-east of Iran, around 125 kilometres from the provincial capital of Mashhad. These rugs are often characterised by their fine knotting, elegant designs and high-quality materials.
They typically feature traditional Persian patterns and motifs inspired by the rich culture and history of the region. These patterns can include floral elements, medallions, geometric shapes and other traditional motifs.
The quality of Ghuchan rugs varies depending on the density of knots and the craftsmanship of the weavers. They are made of high-quality wool and are often dyed with natural dyes. Ghuchan carpets represent the cultural heritage and tradition of carpet making in Iran and symbolise the skill and dedication of the weavers who produce these elaborate carpets.
