Fine Handwoven Kashan Carpet – Historic Ardabil (Sheikh Safi) Design | Item 181

Celebrate one of the most iconic achievements in Persian textile history with this magnificent Fine Handwoven Kashan Carpet, inspired by the world-renowned Ardabil (Sheikh Safi) design. Measuring 9.9 x 6.7 ft (approximately 302 x 204 cm), this museum-quality masterpiece reflects centuries of Persian weaving excellence while offering exceptional craftsmanship and luxurious natural materials.

Inspired by the legendary 16th-century Ardabil Carpet preserved in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, this extraordinary rug faithfully captures the elegance and architectural harmony that have made the original one of the most celebrated Persian carpets in history. Every detail has been meticulously hand-knotted to preserve the beauty and sophistication of this timeless design.

At the center of the composition lies a breathtaking multi-pointed star medallion, woven in elegant shades of sage green, slate blue, and soft gold. The medallion radiates gracefully across a luminous ivory field, creating remarkable depth while serving as the visual focal point of the rug.

The surrounding field is richly decorated with intricate floral scrolls, graceful arabesque vines, Shah Abbasi-inspired botanical motifs, and delicate blossoms that flow harmoniously throughout the composition. Every element demonstrates the remarkable precision and artistic refinement for which Kashan weaving is internationally admired.

Encircling the field is a magnificent sage-green border, beautifully ornamented with detailed cartouches, elegant floral vines, and finely balanced botanical patterns. This sophisticated border enhances the architectural structure of the rug while perfectly complementing the soft ivory center.

Expertly hand-knotted using premium Kork wool on a durable cotton foundation, this carpet offers an exceptionally dense, velvety pile with outstanding softness underfoot. The naturally fine lamb’s wool provides remarkable resilience, luxurious texture, and a subtle sheen that enhances the depth and richness of the carefully selected color palette.

For superior durability and long-term performance, the reverse side is professionally finished with leather-reinforced edge binding, protecting the selvage, preventing edge curling, and ensuring the rug maintains its perfect shape over generations of use. A tightly secured white fringe completes the authentic Persian presentation with refined elegance.

Whether displayed in a formal living room, executive office, luxury residence, or private collection, this historic Ardabil-inspired Kashan carpet serves as both an elegant floor covering and an enduring work of Persian textile art.
