Antique Ferahan Sarouk Rug, Majestic and Ancient Rare Gem

About the Item

High-End Collector's Antique Rug Majestic and Ancient Rare gem About: This is a fascinating piece, extremely old-world with those globe-like motifs in the corner spandrels. This is a very finely woven rug from the Central-Western part of the greatest rug weaving country in the world. This piece dazzles us with soft pinks, blush, incredible shades of blues, greens, earthy espresso and mocha, chocolates, of course, antique beige, and more. The medallion is an all-encompassing example of ornate floral motifs influenced by architectural brilliance. The meandering vines that grow throughout the entire piece add such movement and fluidity to a somewhat structured design. The abrash is unbelievable, and the iconic fence design around the perimeter adds that dash of alchemy and symbolism that we ever so crave in these ancient pieces. This is a higher-end collector's item that will be a statement piece even with its somewhat mellow and subdued color tones. A true gem, you will love this piece. Size: 8.4 x 11.4 Age: Antique Pile: Low. Great condition for age. Has one area on the fringe that is worn in a little. This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available. Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects. This rug is also available with a custom cut pad (sold separately).

  • Rare Collector's Willow Tree of Life Antique Persian Heriz Northwest Village Rug
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    Rare Collector's Willow tree of life antique Persian Heriz Northwest Village rug, C. 1915 Salmon & coral with ice blues and teals About: Antique Persian Heriz in an unbelievably unique design. C. 1915, of all the Northwest pieces - the Weeping Willow Tree of Life design was woven so sparingly; maybe less than 1% of all pieces that came out of the Northwest had this design. You will find this design from other villages, but unlike most symmetrical designs, these designs added a sense of artisanal flair as weaving them ""for the market"" and industry for commerce was a bit of a risk. Most people wanted the standard Medallion design, and if the weavers were weaving non-medallion designs, aka "all-over" designs, it was very seldomly a directional Forest of Life design like this one. I will write more about this piece later, but just know that this is a very, very special carpet with the rare salmon ground (usually they would weave red rugs, or even ivory or navy), and the condition of this piece is spectacular. Just some wear throughout, no holes or anything like that. Not even any re-weaving which would be ok for a piece of this age. Pastel Green with inverse Camel-colored Mountain range in the perimeter, Icy blues with French and Navy blue Tree branches and Tree trunks shifting from small dye batch to small dye batch. Bakshayesh border with jagged leaf and flower-head motif in the border gives us that structure we crave for such an artistic and emotional field design. Probably one of the greatest and counterintuitive things about village rugs is this - back in the day these pieces weren't as sought after, almost looked down upon so the designers and owners of these weaving centers and workshops didn't spend too much time looking over the weavers work - they weren't too concerned with precision and executing perfect drawings and designs - so, in turn it gave the weavers a bit of play, moments to freestyle weave, and allowed them a canvas to imagine, create, and impose their hearts and souls onto the loom...
