The sheep graze the highlands surrounding Mount Sabalan, one of the highest peaks in Iran, where clean air, natural springs and rich pasture produce a wool that is harder to find anywhere else.

Ardabil weavers have always woven from memory, which means the human figures, animals, birds and tribal symbols that appear across the field are not copied from a pattern. They are personal. A weaver might include a horse, a deer, a stylised figure, a bird mid-flight, placed exactly where they felt it belonged. No two rugs interpret these motifs the same way.
