About the Item

An outstanding late 19th century Farahan Sarouk carpet, woven circa 1870s, measuring approximately 78 inches by 50 inches (6 ft 6 in x 4 ft 2 in). This magnificent Persian masterpiece captures the elegance and refinement that define the renowned Farahan weaving tradition, celebrated for its balance of intricate design, superb wool quality, and graceful color harmony. The rug features a rich navy-blue field centered with a beautifully drawn medallion surrounded by floral arabesques, scrolling vines, and delicate palmettes. The design is complemented by a soft ivory ground and a contrasting coral-red border, which frames the composition with classical Persian symmetry and charm. Every detail is rendered in finely hand-spun wool, known for its luxurious texture and enduring durability. The colors, achieved through natural vegetable dyes, retain exceptional depth and vibrancy even after nearly 150 years. The rug remains in great condition for its age, with a full, even pile and minimal wear—testament to both its craftsmanship and preservation. This Farahan Sarouk exemplifies the artistic brilliance of 19th-century Persian weaving—elegant, balanced, and timeless. A highly collectible and decorative piece, perfect for connoisseurs of antique Persian textiles or as a distinguished centerpiece in any refined setting.
