About the Item

This Antique Sarouk Farahan Very Rare Shahpour Figure Rug (3'6" x 5'2") is an exceptional 19th-century Persian masterpiece, distinguished by its rare depiction of the Shahpour figure, a motif symbolizing royal power and cultural heritage. Handwoven in the Farahan region of Persia, this rug exemplifies the refined artistry and precision for which Sarouk Farahan rugs are celebrated. The composition features intricate floral patterns surrounding the regal Shahpour figure, rendered in a balanced palette of deep reds, indigos, and golds created from natural dyes. Crafted from finely hand-spun wool, the rug maintains its soft texture and rich coloration, enhanced by a gentle patina developed over time. Its smaller dimensions make it ideal for display in a study, entryway, or private collection, where its rarity and historical depth can be fully appreciated. A true collector’s piece, this Antique Sarouk Farahan Rug with Shahpour Figure unites exceptional craftsmanship, symbolic design, and timeless Persian artistry.
