History
Ardekan is a city located in the Yazd Province of central Iran. Ardekan carpets are known in the market from the 1920s, and were woven with a Kerman or Yazd design and technique. They were made with a cotton foundation and a wool pile. The Persian (asymmetric) knot was exclusively used. The designs are floral with either a medallion or an allover style. The motifs have palmette, leaf, and vine designs throughout the carpet. These carpets are marketed as Yazd or Kerman in the trade.
Because of low labor costs during the last quarter of the twentieth century, some Kashan and Nain manufacturers subsidized and assisted Ardekan weavers in making Nain and Kashan designs and styles. Ardekan weavers handled this change accord-ingly and made carpets in a wide quality range of medium to very fine in grade. The economic impact improved the daily lives for the people of Ardekan.[1]
