About the Item

This exquisite mid-19th century Persian Farahan rug showcases a masterful Persian Garden design, celebrated for its elegance, rich symbolism, and finely woven detail. Set on a deep red field, the expansive central medallion—rendered in a rare and luminous saffron yellow—nearly fills the entire main field, creating a dramatic and visually captivating focal point. Delicate floral accents in shades of pink, baby blue, and green are skillfully integrated throughout, reflecting the sophistication of Persian design traditions. The primary border, in a deep midnight blue, is adorned with vibrant floral motifs in complementary tones of yellow, pink, blue, and green. The natural dyes used in this rug lend a soft yet striking palette that continues to age beautifully. With its rare coloration, including the prized saffron tone, and its refined craftsmanship, this antique Farahan is a remarkable collector’s piece and an exceptional addition to elegant interiors.

19th Century Persian Khorassan Rug in Open Field Floral Pattern in Crimson, Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
A grand and elegant statement piece, this 19th century Persian Khorassan rug showcases the timeless beauty of Persian textile artistry at its finest. Woven in the esteemed Khorassan region of northeastern Persia, this oversized masterpiece features a refined open field floral pattern, brought to life through the use of exceptionally fine lustrous wool and rich, naturally derived vegetable dyes. The rug’s expansive red field has mellowed over time into a warm, inviting hue, beautifully complemented by an abrash palette of shifting blues and greens. These tonal variations—resulting from hand-dyeing with organic pigments—create a subtle depth and dynamic movement across the surface. The high-quality wool, noted for its lush, oily texture, has developed a soft, elegant patina over more than a century, enhancing the rug’s aged character and luxurious feel. Delicate floral motifs in ivory, deep blue, and green float effortlessly across the open design, allowing the rich background to breathe while maintaining visual interest.
