Summary

Ardebil Rugs : Among the most famous rugs 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 rug collection that is found in the Victoria and Albert Museum is an Ardebil. The first Ardebil rugs with designs of flowers and various medallions are simple, without symbols and resemble rugs from the city of Tabriz. The newer Ardebil rugs are very different from the old ones. The designs have influences from old Caucasian rugs, mainly geometric designs from the rugs Sirvan and Karabah.

Nomadic rugs: Rugs woven by nomads. Nomads move continuously and do not stay permanently in one geographic region. They manufacture (weave) handmade rugs on collapsible looms. Due to that fact there may be slight variations in weaving and their rugs are sometimes uneven in shape. Also the weaving is made from memory and it depends on each artisans momentary inspiration. As a result, the designs in some rugs are not even on the entire surface.

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 rug. 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 rugs. Examples
