Ardebil
Type: Persian carpet
Location: Central Iran (formerly Persia)
Knot Density: 100,000 - 250,000 knots per square meter
Features: Thin
Pile: Wool
Ardebil carpets have a relatively coarse knot density (100,000-250,000 knots per square meter), but are of high quality and have a thin pile that gives them a delicate appearance.
The main materials are wool (pile) and cotton (warp threads), and they are highly durable and available at a relatively affordable price compared to other Persian carpets.
The city of Ardebil is located near the Caspian Sea.
The name "Ardebil" recalls the famous carpet in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which was manufactured in Kashan and originally placed in the Ardebil mosque, but was sold to raise funds for the mosque's restoration.
Currently, Ardebil carpet production is focused mainly on runner size carpets.
