This antique circa 1930 Ardebil rug is a hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind Persian weaving with an ivory field animated by an intricate lattice of stylized floral, foliate, and geometric motifs. Soft sky blue, dusty teal, and sand accents create a refined, time-softened palette, while the detailed reciprocal border frames the balanced all-over composition. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or bedroom.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, powder blue, taupe, muted teal, sand, charcoal, and pale gray, with a ivory field.
Ardebil is a city in northwestern Iran, famous as the home of the Ardebil Shrine and its legendary pair of sixteenth-century carpets — among the finest and most celebrated rugs ever woven. These masterpieces established a tradition of bold medallion design and sophisticated color composition that influenced rug weaving across the region for generations.
Rugs produced in the Ardebil area in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries continue this tradition with a distinctive palette of deep blues and rich reds, intricate medallion formats, and a robust wool pile on a cotton foundation. They are prized for their historical resonance and their strong decorative presence.
