3396 · 2'9" x 4'2" Persian Ardabil Accent Rug

Brown vines and rosettes scatter around a charming stepped medallion. Across a beige field, graceful brown vines and small rosettes scatter around a central stepped medallion. The medallion has a gray beige ground, a small beige diamond at its core, and near-black bird shapes set in pairs around it. A splendid pointed pendant closes the shape at the top and another at the bottom. The wide main border has a gray beige ground carrying dark brown stars and small tulip shapes. Narrow dark brown guard stripes with a small pale pattern frame the wide band on either side. The pile is low across the lower third, where the colors turn paler and the foundation shows through in places. The dark brown drawing keeps the beige in this corner from looking plain. At 2'9" by 4'2", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside 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.
