These Persian
carpets are displayed in the Victoria and Albert Museum
in London too. Ardabil carpets are known for their
royal appearance. These are similar to that of Caucasian rugs.
The patterns of these rugs are mainly geometric and the layouts
are diamond shaped medallions. The rugs feature two predominant
colors. They are purple and turquoise. Sometimes, you can
find other colors such as blue, green, ivory, red and pink.
The materials used in these rugs are generally cotton and
wool. Sometimes silk is also used for the background. The
knots used by the weavers are generally Azerbaijani knots.
Designing this knot needs extreme patience and expertise.
All the carpets and rugs found in Persia and Iran are created
by the nomadic tribes, who started migrating from other places
and settled down in the country with great artistic minds.
Ardabil rugs are available in all sizes.
