Vintage Ardakan Floral Lachak Toranj Persian Rug
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Handwoven from handspun wool on a durable cotton foundation using high-quality dyes in Ardakan, Central Persia.
Ardakan rugs are renowned for their magnificent beauty and high quality. As a testament to their craftsmanship and fine materials, Ardakan rugs have been known to last for hundreds of years. Their classical beauty and elegance will deliver a very polished and refined look to every home. Ardakan is located between Yazd and Nain, but its influence comes primarily from the Kashan weaving tradition.
The designs are typically woven around a central medallion, with some repeating in the corners. The other fields on Ardakan rugs may be densely adorned with lovely flowers and vines. The main border on Ardakan rugs most frequently features the renowned Herati (arched leaf) motif, while the secondary borders feature rosettes.
