The Silken Treasures Collection by Couristan draws its inspiration from the brilliant textiles, exotic artifacts and ancient buildings that graced the landscape of China’s ancient trade route, “Silk Road” during the period of the 4th to the 10th centuries. Designed with texture, fiber and color interest in mind, this hand-knotted collection’s pile is created of a blend of 80% Virgin wool and 20% Natural silk. This unique blending of fibers provides the collection’s pile with a velvety soft hand and a subtle sheen. Beautifully textured, each of the collection’s thirteen delicately detailed patterns are carefully colored in earthtones for a timeless elegance that will lend warmth and comfort to any traditional or contemporary room-setting in the home. |

Ardabil is a city near the coast of the Caspian Sea, and is probably responsible for one of the oldest and most famous carpets in existence today, the 34' x 17' masterpiece housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Ardabil rugs usually have the famous Mahi (Herati) design, with a diamond medallion and small fish throughout. An allover pattern is sometimes seen in an Ardabil. Usually their weavers will incorporate a lot of silk into the woolen pile to accentuate some highlights in the pattern. Some modern Ardabils have started to migrate from the traditional Herati pattern to bolder geometric patterns. In addition to the usual beiges, rusts and blues, many up-to-the-minute colors can be observed in the newer Ardabils, such as a turquoise and purple. |
