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. |
