About the Item
79331 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, 04'03 x 06'07. In the hushed elegance of the Persian plateau, under the soft golden haze of a late 19th century sun, this one-of-a-kind antique Sarouk Farahan rug was born—a hand-knotted symphony of wool, artistry, and courtly refinement. Woven in the heart of Farahan during the twilight of the Qajar Dynasty, this extraordinary masterpiece exudes the storied legacy of Persian nobility. Its meticulous craftsmanship is not merely a display of skill but an enduring testament to a time when rugs were revered as sacred heirlooms—woven not just to adorn, but to transcend generations.
At its heart, a richly detailed medallion of midnight navy unfurls like a royal seal, its structure anchored with stylized lotus blossom pendants that whisper of rebirth and the eternal dance of nature. These lotus forms rise and fall in symmetrical poise, like the cadence of poetry, while the medallion radiates out into a lush expanse of red—a field ablaze with palmettes, vine scrolls, and botanical emblems. Every inch of this field blooms with symbolism: grape clusters for abundance, winding tendrils for continuity, stylized florals for beauty rooted in wisdom. Time has gently softened its palette to a venerable patina, enhancing rather than diminishing its regal bearing.
The exclusive corner spandrels form a visual triad, their softly contrasting hues—verdigris, rust, and umber—imbuing the exceptional composition with a painterly sense of balance and breath. These tri-colored sanctuaries, carved with botanical filigree, serve not merely as decoration, but as sacred thresholds—transitional spaces that bridge the medallion's celestial gravitas with the rhythmic pulse of the field. Within their curvilinear latticework lies a dialogue between geometry and garden, structure and soul.
A parade of lotus blossoms and palmettes marches proudly along the rug’s border, woven with the same gravity and grace once reserved for the halls of Persian aristocracy. This outer frame is further flanked by a trinity of meandering floral guard bands, a ceremonial enclosure that speaks to protection, tradition, and harmony. Each border echoes the sacred geometry of Persian design—a choreography of order encircling natural beauty, reminding the viewer that in Persian cosmology, all life is bound by the dualities of order and wilderness, control and freedom.
To own an exquisite work of art such as this is to inhabit a legacy—a precious textile that transcends trend and speaks in the quiet language of prestige. In a world awash in the ephemeral, this Sarouk Farahan rug endures as an emblem of rarity, symbolic richness, and cultivated taste—an heirloom that doesn’t just decorate a space, but elevates it into an experience of time-honored beauty and unspoken luxury.
