Persian Ardakan Wool Rug - 4.47 x 3.00 tribal

Persian Ardakan Wool Rug - 4.47 x 3.00 tribalArdakan rugs originate from Ardakan, in the northwest corner of Yazd Province, known for its fabulous Persian carpets, is also historically a center of camel raising. Although it is located between Yazd and Nain, its influence comes primarily from Kashan. Throughout this area of Iran other small towns including Boroujerd, Josheghan, Khomaine, Najafabad, Taleghan, and Veramin, still weave Persian carpets with influences carried forward from the 16th

The result is that while all Kerman carpets have something in common

The carpet is made form kork wool and comes from the city of Tabriz

Caucasian rug influences are also strongly felt resulting in displays of bold geometric designs in primary colours

Weaving began in the religious shrine city of Qum in central Persia in the 1930s

but the traditional and most typical is that of the octagonal elephant's foot (Bukhara) print

bringing you and generations to come much pleasure

The centre of the rug is a large vase containing an amazing spray of flowers that completely fill the field of the carpet

Kashmar rugs originate from Kashmar

but they are also any other number of shapes and motives in vases and every now and then as a bunch

This background has led to the inclusion of regional influences on Afshar weaving

This carpet is one that represents joy and happiness

although a lot of changes have been made to the designs
