Ardabil Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi antique Ardabil Persian rug measuring 8'10" x 3'7" showcases the timeless beauty of Persian craftsmanship through its stunning medallion design set against a rich madder red field. Dating back 40-60 years, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece features an intricate toranj medallion surrounded by geometric patterns that speak to the nomadic heritage of the Ardabil region, where skilled weavers have perfected their art for centuries.
The ancient city of Ardabil in northwestern Persia has long been celebrated for producing rugs of exceptional quality, serving as a crossroads for Persian, Turkish, and Caucasian weaving traditions. This particular rug embodies the region's distinctive approach to medallion composition, where the central toranj is elegantly balanced with geometric border motifs that reflect the area's tribal influences. The semi antique age of this piece adds character through subtle variations in pile height and gentle fading that can only be achieved through decades of careful use.
The sophisticated color palette begins with a luminous madder red foundation, beautifully complemented by deep navy blue accents that frame the central medallion with remarkable precision. Cream highlights dance throughout the intricate geometric patterns, while touches of turquoise, ochre, and rust red create depth and visual interest. These colors have been achieved using traditional natural dyes that have aged gracefully over the decades, developing the rich patina that collectors treasure in semi antique Persian rugs.
At 8'10" x 3'7", this Ardabil runner is perfectly proportioned for hallways, galley kitchens, or as an elegant accent in living spaces where its narrow profile won't overwhelm the room's proportions. The combination of 100% natural wool pile with cotton foundation ensures durability while maintaining the soft underfoot feel characteristic of authentic Persian craftsmanship. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional piece that represents both artistic heritage and functional beauty.
The geometric patterns woven throughout this rug tell stories of ancient Persian symbolism, where each motif carries meaning passed down through generations of master weavers. This authentic piece elevates any interior space with its remarkable blend of traditional artistry and timeless elegance, serving as both floor covering and conversation piece that connects your home to centuries of Persian weaving tradition.
