About the Item
61446 Antique Persian Farahan Rug, 01'08 x 02'04. Woven in the storied workshops of Farahan, this antique Persian rug embodies a quieter, more intellectual form of luxury—one favored by aristocrats, scholars, and tastemakers rather than courts seeking spectacle. Its luminous ivory ground reads like aged parchment, softly patinated by time, creating an atmosphere of cultivated restraint and effortless sophistication. This is a piece that does not shout its importance; it whispers it to those who know.
Across the exceptional field unfolds a mesmerizing golden trellis, an allover lattice of quatrefoil motifs that interlock with architectural precision. Within each form, stylized florals and gentle foliage bloom in hushed pastel tones, lending the exclusive composition an almost ethereal calm. The repetition is rhythmic and meditative, evoking Persian garden design and the classical ideals of balance, harmony, and infinite continuity.
Framing this refined interior, a graceful carnation meander border introduces movement and subtle ornament, its floral cadence softened by an inner arabesque S-hook guard band. These details speak directly to Farahan’s influence on later court carpets, particularly Sarouk and Sultanabad, making this exquisite work of art not only beautiful but historically pivotal—a foundational design language rendered in wool.
Hand-knotted with exceptional finesse, this Farahan is an object of connoisseurship—ideal for collectors who value nuance, provenance, and intellectual elegance over excess. Whether placed in a library, gallery-like hallway, or layered within a curated interior, it brings with it an unmistakable air of heritage and discernment. To own such an extraordinary masterpiece is to participate in a lineage of refined taste that spans centuries.
