Antique Persian Beige Light Blue Navy Blue Farahan Sarouk Small Rug, c. 1930s

About the Item

This is a fine example of a lovely antique Farahan Sarouk dating from the 1930s measuring 3.9 x 5.1 ft. This piece is a pair with rug #4957 in our collection. Persian Farahan Sarouk rugs were woven in the village of Sarouk but these carpets given the name “Farahan” as a distinction for their exceptional type of Sarouks. The Persian Farahan Sarouk rugs were made over a period of one hundred years beginning in the mid-18th century. They have an asymmetrical knot on a cotton ground; the wefts are dyed blue or occasionally pinkish red. The weave is extremely fine and the many patterns combine both tribal and more traditional designs. They often have a floral border with a soft pale apple or pistachio green ground. Farahans were made between the 1870s and 1913 from a region north of the town of Arak, produced for the Persian aristocracy. They are single weft, long and narrow or room-sized carpets, typically with an allover Herati design or floral and curling leaf motifs. Farahan Sarouk carpets exhibit rich colors, often a red field, deep indigo accents and subtle shades of green. Feraghan rugs are of a finer weave than other types of Sultanabad rugs, with delicately executed motifs.
