Iranian Ardabil Carpet, “mameluke Style” – Early 20th Century: 200 × 290 Cm "galerie Sardje"

Ardabil carpet in the “Mamluk style” – Iran, early 20th century - Dimensions: 200 × 290 cm

An elegant, authentic Ardabil (Iran) rug, dating from the early 20th century, featuring a design inspired by the famous Mamluk rugs. Its design is dominated by a large central geometric medallion surrounded by stylized floral motifs and richly ornamented borders. Its palette of soft, powdery tones—salmon pink, celadon blue, ivory, and midnight blue—gives it a charming decorative presence.

This rug is heavily worn, with significant patina due to its age and use. It should no longer be considered a prestigious rug in perfect condition, but rather a piece with authentic character, ideal for vintage, wabi-sabi, or country-style decor. Its wear contributes to its aesthetic and gives it a unique personality.

Despite its condition, it retains a beautiful decorative quality and will easily find its place in an interior seeking the authenticity and charm of antique textiles.
