Antique Persian Farahan Carpet with Boteh Design and Traditional Style
About the Item
74293 Antique Persian Farahan Rug 04'02 x 06'04. Bathed in the rich, resplendent hues of crimson and aubergine, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Farahan rug unfolds like a timeless tapestry of Persian elegance. Its field is a garden of stylized boteh motifs, arranged in rhythmic procession across a glowing crimson ground, each motif whispering of fertility, eternal life, and the gentle flame of the soul’s journey. Encased within a diamond-shaped inner framework, the boteh, often interpreted as the seed of life or a cypress in bloom, flows like poetry, a dance of form and meaning upon the loom of history.
The heart of the Farahan rug pulses with the deep passion of color, where the reds deepen into shades of burgundy and plum, creating a painterly effect of abrash that speaks to the hand-dyed wool’s organic origins. This living canvas is framed by a field of midnight, densely woven with floral arabesques and delicate tendrils, as though night itself had blossomed in response to the field’s vibrant light. Each detail, from the meandering vines to the softly outlined petals, contributes to the sense of an enchanted garden, alive with the memory of Persian weavers’ dreams.
Enclosing this vision of natural grace is a majestic border adorned with grand floral rosettes and scrolling palmettes, set against a ground of inky indigo. These floral guardians, rendered with both power and delicacy, serve not only as a visual frame but as a symbolic one, offering protection and continuity. Flanked by finely woven guard bands of subtle, geometric precision, the border both contains and elevates the central composition, echoing the eternal cycles of growth and renewal that define Persian art.
This antique Farahan rug is more than a floor covering; it is a lyrical ode to tradition, an artifact of a time when weaving was not merely craft, but sacred expression. Whether gracing a quiet study, a regal hallway, or an intimate sitting room, it brings with it the soul of Persia—its poetry, its colors, its timeless beauty. In every knot, the echo of hands long past can still be felt, weaving beauty, history, and spirit into the fabric of the present.
Rendered in variegated shades of burgundy-raspberry, cerise, brown, reddish[pinkish, berry, ecru, tan, sand, navy blue, cerulean, rose, camel, and Prussian blue with other accent colors.
