The Chosroes Rug
The Chosroes is one of the most famous palace size rugs ever woven. Dating back to the 6th or 7th century, the rug was used inside a Persian royal palace as a reminder of spring. Measuring 11,250 square feet, this Persian rug was made of silk, gold, silver and precious gems. The rug depicted a springtime scene complete with brooks of crystal water, paths of pearl gravel and golden flowerbeds, with plants of many-colored gems. Sadly, the rug was cut into small pieces and distributed to the soldiers of an invading army as war-booty.
The Ardabil Carpet
The Ardabil carpet is part of a pair that was originally housed in the main mosque in Ardabil. Both rugs were brought to England in the 1890s. One was bought by the Victoria & Albert Museum where it was repaired and restored. The other made its way to the United States and was eventually donated to the Museum of Science, History and Art in Los Angeles. Woven in the late 16th century and used until 1890, the Ardabil rug measures 684 square feet and is considered one of the finest Persian rug examples in the world. It's proudly displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in gallery where members of the public can appreciate its beauty.
