Ardabil Carpet Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA
CategoriesRug Ideas
The famous Ardabil Carpet will be on display again. LACMA, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art will exhibit the almost 500-year old Ardabil carpet from November 14, 2009 to January 18, 2010. Dr. Jon Thompson from U.K. will deliver a speech on the Ardabil carpets. Another piece of this rare pair magnificent Persian carpets is in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
The London Ardabil measures 34′ 6″ in length by 17′ 6″ in width, compared with a 23′ 11″ length and 13′ 5″ width for its Los Angeles pendant. It has long been assumed that the outer borders and part of the lower field were sacrificed in the late 1800’s to accommodate repairs to the London carpet.
I will write more on these rugs and also on the LACMA Exhibition in the near future.
