Ardabil kilims feature a variety of designs, from those depicting animals such as birds, horses, and deer to those characterized by geometric patterns. The colors often feature vibrant reds and oranges for frames and patterns on a soft beige or gold base. These characteristics make Ardabil kilims highly prized as valuable rugs that combine beauty and durability.

Daily care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If stains are a concern, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar cloth. Then, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please note

Due to being hand-woven, there may be distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, and dyeing irregularities. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of hand-weaving.
