Summary

Ardebil Carpets : Among the most famous carpets in the world, they have taken their name from the homonymous town of Ardebil, which is located near the Caspian Sea, in Northwestern Persia. A highlight of the carpet collection that is found in the Victoria and Albert Museum is an Ardebil. It is the only one of the very few preserved old carpets on which the date 1539, according to our calendar, (946 Persian date) is shown in the weave. The first Ardebil carpets with designs of flowers and various medallions are simple, without symbols and resemble carpets from the city of Tabriz. The newer Ardebil carpets are very different from the old ones. The designs have influences from old Caucasian carpets, mainly geometric designs from the carpets Sirvan and Karabah.

Classic Carpets: Carpets that are woven in urban centres in fixed workshops and looms(as opposed to nomads). Their designs are first done on paper by carpet designers. These designs are strictly conducted by the weaver during the manufacturing. Even in these carpets, though there may be slight variations in weaving.

All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.

Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the carpet. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the carpets. Examples
