ARDABIL is a town in the
northwestern Iranian province of Azerbaijan, in the Caucuses
region. Ardabil is the center of Persian Kazak rugs. Ardabil rugs
are similar to Caucasian rugs with predominantly geometric designs
but differ by having motifs woven into them and tend to be lighter
in their color use. Fine wool is used with tight good textured
piles. The asymmetrical knot is mostly used and the average KPSI
is 120. There are many different grades of rugs made in this
region, ranging from medium to fine. Carpets and rugs from ARDABIL
are beautiful and there is very high demand for older ones.
