3134 · 4'2" x 12'4" Persian Ardabil Area Rug

Delightful curled boteh outlined in pink repeat in rows over a near-black ground. Across a field that reads burgundy from afar, rows of curled boteh outlined in pink repeat over a near-black ground, with dainty rosettes in red and orange. The design is an all-over repeat with no central medallion, and it runs the full length of the rug. No spandrels break the pattern at the corners. A beautiful red main border carries cream stars with pink and orange bars. A salmon pink stripe and a fine cream-and-black check line close the border on the inside. The pile is full in the field and the border. It brings a warm, steady rhythm to a long room, and the cream notes keep the red from closing in. At 4'2" by 12'4", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
