About the Item
76780 Antique Persian Farahan Sarouk Rug,10'06 x 13'07. A Persian Farahan rug, also known as Farahan Sarouk, is a hand-knotted rug originating from the Farahan region in Iran, renowned for its intricate designs, rich color palette, and high-quality craftsmanship. Made in villages and towns within the Farahan region, these rugs feature central medallion motifs surrounded by intricate floral or geometric patterns, woven with top-quality wool on a cotton foundation, sometimes accented with silk. Farahan rugs are highly valued for their durability, beauty, and ability to retain value over time, reflecting the rich tradition of rug weaving in the region.
Exemplifying the quintessential Arts and Crafts style, this antique Persian Farahan rug captivates with its architectural motifs and warm, earthy hues, seamlessly bridging modern, contemporary, and traditional interiors. Crafted from hand-knotted wool, its naturalistic elements infuse it with timeless allure. The centerpiece is a grand central cusped black medallion, adorned with trefoil palmette finials at each end, exuding an aura of understated elegance. Against an abrashed terracotta backdrop, a mesmerizing floral branch pattern unfolds, showcasing blooming palmettes, lotus blossoms, and intricate botanical motifs intertwined with serrated leaves and leafy tendrils, each element meticulously rendered to evoke the beauty of nature. Elaborate corner spandrels echo the opulence of the central design, harmoniously filling the space with verdant frondescence.
Accentuating the composition, a Classic Herati border surrounds the field, accompanied by inner and outer carnation Meander guard bands, seamlessly integrating colors from the rug's palette into a unified whole. Subsidiary barber pole guard stripes add a touch of sophistication, enhancing the rug's overall aesthetic appeal. With its English-inspired charm and earthy color palette reminiscent of the natural world, this antique Persian Farahan rug exudes character and sophistication, making it an ideal complement to interiors inspired by the Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, or Prairie School movements.

Its rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship make it not just a floor covering, but a work of art, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Arts and Crafts movement. Whether adorning a cozy Craftsman bungalow or a sleek modern apartment, this Persian Farahan rug embodies the spirit of craftsmanship and design excellence, offering a glimpse into a bygone era while remaining relevant in today's design landscape.
