About the Item
74293 Antique Persian Farahan Rug 04'02 x 06'04. Bathed in the rich, resplendent hues of crimson and aubergine, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Farahan rug unfolds like a timeless tapestry of Persian elegance. Its field is a garden of stylized boteh motifs, arranged in rhythmic procession across a glowing crimson ground, each motif whispering of fertility, eternal life, and the gentle flame of the soul’s journey. Encased within a diamond-shaped inner framework, the boteh, often interpreted as the seed of life or a cypress in bloom, flows like poetry, a dance of form and meaning upon the loom of history.
The heart of the Farahan rug pulses with the deep passion of color, where the reds deepen into shades of burgundy and plum, creating a painterly effect of abrash that speaks to the hand-dyed wool’s organic origins. This living canvas is framed by a field of midnight, densely woven with floral arabesques and delicate tendrils, as though night itself had blossomed in response to the field’s vibrant light. Each detail, from the meandering vines to the softly outlined petals, contributes to the sense of an enchanted garden, alive with the memory of Persian weavers’ dreams.
Enclosing this vision of natural grace is a majestic border adorned with grand floral rosettes and scrolling palmettes, set against a ground of inky indigo. These floral guardians, rendered with both power and delicacy, serve not only as a visual frame but as a symbolic one, offering protection and continuity. Flanked by finely woven guard bands of subtle, geometric precision, the border both contains and elevates the central composition, echoing the eternal cycles of growth and renewal that define Persian art.
This antique Farahan rug is more than a floor covering; it is a lyrical ode to tradition, an artifact of a time when weaving was not merely craft, but sacred expression. Whether gracing a quiet study, a regal hallway, or an intimate sitting room, it brings with it the soul of Persia—its poetry, its colors, its timeless beauty. In every knot, the echo of hands long past can still be felt, weaving beauty, history, and spirit into the fabric of the present.
Rendered in variegated shades of burgundy-raspberry, cerise, brown, reddish[pinkish, berry, ecru, tan, sand, navy blue, cerulean, rose, camel, and Prussian blue with other accent colors.

Antique Persian Sarouk Area Rug
Located in New York, NY
Sarouk is a name of a village situated about 25 miles north of Arak (Sultanabad). This region became one of the most active regions of carpet weaving in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. The city's most famous designer was named Farahan. To be able to compete with Kashan in rug commerce, Farahan designed rugs with center medallion motives. Today, these carpets are referred to as Antique 19th century Farahan Sarouks.
In the 1920s and 1930s a well-known rug dealer in New York thought that Americans would buy rose-field carpets with blue borders and detached floral motives. During that period, a vast number of Sarouks with rose-fields and all over floral patterns were woven and exported to the American market. However, the natural dyed rose color did not stand up to the alkaline bath to which new rugs in Arak were subjected in the finishing process. The rose color faded radically. But instead of changing the finishing process or changing the composition of the dyes to stand up to alkali, New York merchants "solved" the problem by arming their staffs with synthetic dyes and little paint brushes with which they painted back in the rose-color in the entire fields of thousands and thousands of rugs and carpets over a period of 20 years. Today, Antique Sarouk rugs and carpets...
