19th Century Oversize Persian Farahan in Allover Herati Pattern in Navy, Brick

About the Item

An exceptional and rare 19th century oversized Persian Farahan rug, handwoven in Western Persia circa mid-1800s. This mansion-size antique rug features a highly sought-after allover Herati pattern, rendered with remarkable finesse in a rich navy blue field and accented by tones of brick red, soft green, pale yellow, ivory, and light blue. The elegant border introduces additional hues, including pink, red, cream, and golden yellow, creating a beautifully balanced and harmonious composition. Crafted during the height of the Farahan weaving tradition, this rug exemplifies the region’s signature aesthetic—fine knotting, delicate symmetry, and sophisticated color sensibility.

19th Century Oversized Manchester Kashan in Allover Pattern with Burgundy, Navy
Located in Barrington, IL
A magnificent and rare 19th century oversized Manchester Kashan rug, handwoven in Persia using the finest imported Merino wool. This mansion-sized antique Kashan is a testament to the artistry and technical excellence of Persian weavers during the late 19th to early 20th century. It features a stately allover pattern across a richly toned field of burgundy, navy, cobalt blue, and golden yellow, creating a luxurious and visually arresting composition. The term “Manchester Kashan” refers to the superior-grade Manchester wool, imported from Manchester, England—highly prized for its exceptional softness, durability, and natural luster. This exquisite wool was dyed locally with vegetable-based dyes, using centuries-old techniques that lend a subtle variation and depth to the rug’s palette. The result is a carpet that exudes both refinement and richness, with a silken surface that catches the light beautifully. Despite age-related wear and a gently worn pile, the rug remains in very good condition for its age, and its grandeur and vibrant color story remain fully intact. The large-scale floral and vine motif adds both movement and majesty, making this piece ideal for formal living spaces, salons, or grand interiors seeking a rare, elegant centerpiece with provenance. Manchester Kashan rugs are renowned globally for their masterful designs and high-quality craftsmanship, and examples in this size and condition are increasingly rare. This exceptional carpet offers timeless beauty, historic significance, and enduring luxury.
