About the Item
79125 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, 10'09 x 16'00. Woven in the twilight of the Qajar dynasty, this hand knotted wool antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug stands as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece—an embodiment of rarefied taste and noble heritage. Created in the culturally luminous Farahan region of west-central Iran in the late 19th century, it reflects a golden age of rug weaving when design was both devotion and declaration. The celestial navy blue field anchors the composition with dignified depth, giving rise to an ethereal ivory medallion that blooms like a moonlit garden at midnight. Stylized palmettes, scrolling vines, and delicate floral sprays meander with lyrical grace across the surface, evoking the Islamic ideal of an eternal paradise and capturing the imaginations of connoisseurs who seek beauty steeped in symbolic meaning.
The color story of this regal textile is nothing short of painterly. Lush madder reds pulse with ancient warmth, while the tender pistachio greens and subdued indigo blues conjure impressions of Persian manuscripts and garden pavilions. The exquisite medallion, rendered in the soft glow of natural ivory wool, radiates a gentle luminosity that illuminates the field with aristocratic serenity. Each signature motif—every petal, tendril, and vine—has been rendered with precision and poetic instinct, echoing not only the region’s botanical inspirations but also the Persian philosophy of harmony between man and nature. This rug is not just décor; it is a visual sonnet composed in wool and dyed with the essence of a vanished world.
Framing this exclusive work of art is a masterful border that bears all the hallmarks of elite Farahan design. Circular floral cartouches, edged with rosettes, alternate rhythmically with flowing arabesques in a pattern that guides the viewer’s gaze around the piece like a formal promenade through a royal courtyard. Multiple guard bands, each embellished with fine scrolling vines and floral meanders, add depth and refinement to the border’s overall composition. This architectural framing not only provides balance and containment—it announces the rug as a treasure of monumental artistry, a collector’s piece whose historic prestige and nuanced beauty are increasingly scarce in today’s market.
To own this exceptional Sarouk Farahan rug is to acquire more than an antique; it is to inherit a legacy. It is a bespoke artifact of dignity and refinement, hand knotted for a patron of stature and preserved for those who value excellence over ephemera. Whether installed in a stately home, a gallery-like interior, or a heritage collection, this one-of-a-kind carpet invites a deeper engagement with art, history, and ethical luxury. With its blend of scarcity, symbolic resonance, and timeless splendor, this precious heirloom quality piece offers a chance to participate in a continuum of cultural stewardship—an act of reverence for the artisanship and values that defined an extraordinary epoch.
