The Ardabil Carpet is the world's oldest dated carpet and one of the largest, most beautiful and historically important.
It was made in the town of Ardabil in north-west Iran, the burial place of Shaykh Safi al-Din Ardabili, who died in 1334. The Shaykh was a Sufi leader, ancestor of Shah Ismail, founder of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1722). While the exact origins of the carpet are unclear, it's believed to have been commissioned by the court for the shrine of the Shaykh, which, by the 16th century, had became a place of pilgrimage.
Nain rugs are Persian rugs that originated in the city of Nain in central Iran. They are known for their intricate designs, which often feature floral motifs and central medallions. Nain rugs are typically woven using a delicate color palette, with shades of ivory, blue, and beige. They are also characterized by their high knot density, which can range from 300 to 700 knots per square inch.
