About the Item

This 10x14 Farahan Persian rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s antique curations—an exceptional design of outstanding large size, made with hand-knotted wool in the late 19th century. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will appreciate this outstanding antique Persian Farahan rug—a one-of-a-kind masterpiece new to the collection. Designers will particularly appreciate its size—one of the best and most versatile one can find in Persian rugs of its period that lends to so many spaces today. Keen eyes will note an interesting stylistic variation from the late 19th century; beige-cream field underscores geometric florals in colorful tones in the field and border—an interesting element and one of the many collectible charms of such a regal, yet warm and comfortable Persian of its period. The border features palmettes and vine scrolls in rich terracotta creating a perfect frame for the central design. Farahan carpets, developed in 19th-century West Central Persia for regional aristocrats, uniquely combined geometric tribal patterns with refined curvilinear designs, gaining Western recognition at the 1873 Vienna Exhibition.The attention to detail in scale, texture and movement of color is matched only by its equally rare condition. This is an exemplary traditional piece, with more of a vibrancy than many found in the modern day. Condition: This Antique Farahan Persian rug further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin—an impressive find among Persian rugs of a celebrated weaving tradition.
