Ardabil rugs originate from Ardabil located in the province of Ardabil province in northwestern Iran. Ardabil has a long and illustrious history of Persian carpet weaving. the weavers in Ardabil ply their craft using Azerbaijani knots. Two of the most famous carpets in existence today are a pair of Persian carpets from Ardabil on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England.

Ardabil rugs feature motifs that are very similar to Caucasian rugs but with more motifs and objects woven into the borders. The colors are also lighter. The patterns are predominantly geometric and the most common layouts on Ardabil rugs are medallions, multiple connected diamond-shaped medallions, and all-over octagonal shapes. The most recognized design found on Ardabil rugs is the famous Mahi (Herat) design - a diamond medallion and small fish throughout.

Important tip: we recommend that an anti-slip pad such as Total Grip is used underneath rugs to prevent slippage between the rug and the surface it is placed on.
