The small village of Abadeh is located just southeast of Isfahan, in Iran, of course.  Rugs from Abadeh have for decades been known for their central medallions and four corner medallions.  The Abadeh design is one of the few designs which has survived the test of time virtually unchanged.  Old rugs and new rugs alike can be identified as being from Abadeh based merely on these qualities.  The lovely shades of blue and red are also part of the tradition. 

These rugs are woven in the village on smaller looms often kept in the living room or main bedroom.  The women who weave these usually take from one to two years to complete a rug of this size.  They say it just depends on how many children there are to take care of and how many dishes there are to wash.

These marvelous little rugs look great in any room of the house!
