Ardabil Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi antique Ardabil Persian rug measuring 9'10" x 3'1" presents a magnificent medallion centerpiece surrounded by intricate geometric borders in a rich palette of madder red, navy blue, and cream. The elongated runner proportions make this piece ideal for hallways, galley kitchens, or alongside dining tables, where its traditional Toranj medallion design creates a striking focal point that draws the eye down the length of any space.
Originating from the historic city of Ardabil in northwestern Persia, this rug carries the weaving legacy of a region renowned for producing some of the world's most celebrated carpets since the 16th century. Ardabil weavers developed distinctive knotting techniques using both symmetrical Ghiordes and asymmetrical Persian knots, creating densely woven textiles that have adorned palaces and noble homes for centuries. The semi antique character of this 40-60 year old piece reflects the golden era of Persian rug making when master craftsmen still employed time-honored methods passed down through generations.
The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian, symbolizes the cosmic order and celestial harmony, while the surrounding geometric patterns represent the four elements and cardinal directions. Deep madder red dominates the field, complemented by navy blue guard borders and cream highlights that illuminate the intricate tribal motifs. Accents of rust red, burgundy, ivory, ochre, and brown create subtle variations that add depth and visual interest to the overall composition.
Crafted entirely from natural wool and cotton using traditional hand-knotting methods, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece elevates any interior with its authentic Persian craftsmanship and timeless appeal. The runner's proportions work beautifully in contemporary and traditional settings alike, whether placed in entryways to welcome guests or used to define seating areas in open floor plans. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Ardabil weaving artistry, complete with original fringes that frame the composition with classical elegance.
