According to bazaar legend, a mother created the design roughly 700 years ago while weaving a bridal gift for her daughter, combining willow trees representing love and fertility with pomegranate fruits symbolising virtue and good health. The pattern stuck, and it has been passed down through generations of Bakhtiari weavers ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-knotted with wool pile on a cotton foundation.

The weavers here learned their craft during the long mountain winters when farming stopped.

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. The weavers bathe their sheep in the region's lakes and rivers, a practice that keeps the fleece exceptionally clean and results in a pile with a natural lustre that holds over decades of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe designs are what make these rugs genuinely rare. 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. What looks like a repeating geometric field reveals itself slowly. The longer you look, the more you find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe palette is bold and saturated.

The design is more precise, the finish smoother, and the pile finer than a standard Chobi. The wool is hand-spun and hand-selected in Afghanistan, chosen specifically for the fineness required to achieve this level of weave. It retains its natural lanolin, giving the pile a silky feel underfoot and a sheen that only becomes more pronounced over time. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", Arial, \"Noto Sans\", sans-serif, \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\", \"Noto Color Emoji\"; font-size: 0.875rem;'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", Arial, \"Noto Sans\", sans-serif, \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\", \"Noto Color Emoji\"; font-size: 0.875rem;'\u003eThis is as refined as Afghan Chobi weaving gets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Najaf Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43606589669632,"sku":"BR3379","price":8800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/1805\/7216\/products\/high-quality-handwoven-afghan-chobi-rug-294-x-243-cm-98-x-8-656511.jpg?v=1774414997"},{"product_id":"vintage-persian-rug-111-x-68-cm-38-x-23","title":"Vintage Persian Sarouk Rug","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 111 x 68 cm | 3'8\" x 2'3\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% natural fibres.

The weavers here learned their craft during the long mountain winters when farming stopped. Weaving wasn't a cultural pastime, it was a livelihood, and that shows in how these rugs are built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat sets Ardabil apart is the character of the wool. 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. The weavers bathe their sheep in the region's lakes and rivers, a practice that keeps the fleece exceptionally clean and results in a pile with a natural lustre that holds over decades of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe designs are what make these rugs genuinely rare. 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. What looks like a repeating geometric field reveals itself slowly. The longer you look, the more you find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe palette is bold and saturated.
