About the Item
19th Century Persian Sarouk Farahan Carpet ( 14'3" x 17'2" - 434 x 523 )
Antique Large Sarouk - Farahan Persian Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of 19th-century Persian weaving originates from the Arak region, renowned for producing some of the most sought-after antique rugs of the Qajar dynasty. The Farahan subgroup is particularly prized for its meticulous knotting and sophisticated use of natural dyes, distinguishing it from later commercial productions.
The commanding visual presence of this piece is defined by its rich, saturated color palette. A deep, midnight indigo serves as the primary ground color, providing a dramatic backdrop for the intricate botanical motifs. This classic use of blue color rugs contrasts sharply with the earthy terracotta and rust tones of the main border, creating a harmonious yet powerful aesthetic balance characteristic of the finest Farahan workshops.
The design employs a highly detailed, dense floral arrangement, characteristic of the allover rugs style. Rather than relying on a central medallion, the entire field is covered in a meandering vine system, featuring stylized palmettes, rosettes, and delicate flowering shrubs. This continuous flow of pattern ensures visual interest across the entire surface, reflecting the weaver's masterful control over complex composition.
Measuring generously, this carpet falls into the category of large oversized big rug, making it an ideal anchor for a grand drawing room or formal dining space. Its impressive scale, combined with its remarkable preservation after more than 140 years, confirms its status as a significant textile artifact and a testament to enduring Persian artistry.
