The few remaining ancient Persian carpets are found in museums and private collections around the world, and date back to the oldest discovered Pazyryk Rug from 500 B.C. The two Ardabil Carpets, located in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, are also considered among the world’s oldest. Copied endlessly until today, Persian inspired rugs feature multiple borders, classic icon images, overall busy designs and rich colors that combine to create complex, engaging and decorative pieces. The Ancient Oriental Rug combines meticulously detailed design elements with subtle color hints of golds, beiges with highlights of reds and light blue.
