Meshkabad rugs are hand-woven by semi-nomadic people living in the village of Meshkabad, near Arak in north-western Iran. The central fields usually have a warm floral-patterned medallion, and the colors are very warm and lively. However, geometric patterns are sometimes used, and many other colors besides red can be found. Obvious traces of Kurdish origins are evident in these rugs.

Moshkabad village is located in the Arak (Markazi) Province of west central Iran. Moshkabad carpets are known in the market from the turn of the twentieth century. Moshkabads followed the pattern styles of MAHAL OR MAHALLAT, but in a lower grade quality. The weavers from this village produced large quantities of rugs for low-budget consumers both domestically and abroad. Nearby villages such as DAVODABAD, EINABAD, and KERDABAD marketed their carpets as Moshkabad in the trade. By the last quarter of the twentieth century, some Moshkabad weavers switched from their usual designs to make carpets similar to those of other cities and villages in the region in accordance with the demand of domestic and foreign consumers.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.409</ref>

The weavings usually have a brick- or rusi-red background; ivory and dark blue are also used for the field and borders. Besides these colors, different shades of red, blue, green, gold, brown, cinnamon, and gray accentuate the design elements and guard borders. Dark blue or dark brown is employed for design oudines.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.409</ref>
