A striking vintage Persian Ardabil rug from the mid-20th century, this room-size carpet showcases the iconic “signature Ardebil” geometric design, celebrated for its tribal charm and symbolic motifs. Hand-knotted in the historic weaving city of Ardabil—located in the Azerbaijan region of northwestern Iran—this piece reflects generations of artisanal heritage and cultural storytelling.
The rug features an ivory-colored field adorned with a dynamic arrangement of stylized birds and geometric tribal forms, lending both texture and narrative richness. A bold central medallion in deep brick red anchors the composition, adding a warm focal point. Surrounding the field, classic borders in pale blue, brown, and brick hues echo the simplicity and harmony of traditional Ardebil aesthetics.
Known for their refined balance of form and symbolism, Ardabil rugs are admired for their use of animal imagery and clean geometric structure. This piece is an ideal choice for curated interiors that blend heritage craftsmanship with bold design, and is equally suited for collectors seeking meaningful, timeless floor art.
