Persian rugs are not always from the city they are identified as quality is also an identifying factor. For example, in the holy city of Mashad, when finer pieces are woven, they are often referred to as Moods. Although Mood is a village near Mashad, the name does not necessarily mean that the rug was woven there.
Another way Persian rugs are classified is by the city in where they are marketed. For example, Arak is a small rural town that has an incredibly large rug trading industry. It is surrounded by only a few bright colors. City rugs and finer pieces usually have a more detailed design and much more color. Also, some cities will have very few designs and others such as Tabriz will have a great number. A rug expert can usually determine the origin of a rug simply by analyzing the design.
