1880's Persian Sarouk Farahan Carpet, 09’00 x 13’02

About the Item

73477 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, 09'00 x 13'02. This Late 19th Century antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug is a remarkable work of art that intertwines naturalistic forms, architectural elements, and Arts & Crafts design principles. Hand-knotted from fine wool, this Persian masterpiece showcases a bold red field adorned with a midnight navy blue cusped central medallion, flanked by intricate palmette pendants at either end. Drawing inspiration from William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement, its design seamlessly blends Persian tradition with English decorative charm. The medallion serves as the heart of the composition, surrounded by a rustic red field teeming with botanical patterns, including serrated leaves, roundel rosettes, hyacinths, floral sprigs, and towering cypress trees. Each corner spandrel is graced by a large-scale peacock, a majestic motif deeply rooted in Persian history and symbolism. Revered as guardians of royalty, peacocks often adorned the thrones of Persian kings, symbolizing renewal, holiness, nobility, and integrity. Their vibrant plumage serves as a metaphor for beauty and the courage to reveal one’s true self. The inclusion of these regal birds imbues the Sarouk Farahan rug with a sense of grandeur and cultural significance, making it not only a decorative piece but also a narrative of Persian heritage and artistry. The navy blue botanical border frames the design beautifully, echoing the richness of the central medallion while adding depth to the composition. This main border is further accentuated by double inner and outer floral meander guard bands, which intricately weave floral elements into a rhythmic cadence. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in these borders enhances the Persian rug’s harmony and balance, underscoring its exceptional quality and attention to detail. The overall design of this Persian Sarouk Farahan rug is distinctly reminiscent of the Arts & Crafts movement, which celebrated the artistry of handcrafted textiles as a response to the mass-produced goods of the Industrial Revolution. Designers like William Morris and C.F.A. Voysey championed rugs like this for their timeless beauty and connection to the natural world. The earthy color palette and folk-inspired motifs of this rug resonate deeply with the ideals of the movement, making it a perfect addition to interiors inspired by Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, or Prairie School aesthetics. Emanating character and historical depth, this antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug bridges cultural traditions and design movements with ease. Its exquisite blend of Persian symbolism, naturalistic design, and English Arts & Crafts influence makes it a versatile and enchanting centerpiece for nearly any space. Whether placed in a traditional or modern setting, this woven wonder invites its viewers to marvel at its beauty, history, and craftsmanship, offering warmth and timeless elegance to any interior.
