About the Item
61112 Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, 04'00 x 06'08. Embark on a captivating journey through time and tradition with this meticulously hand-knotted wool antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug, a testament to the artistry of ancient carpet designs. Immerse yourself in the rich history of Sarouk, a weaving region renowned for its high-quality, artistically distinctive carpets since the 19th century.
This Farahan Sarouk rug, reminiscent of the first designs woven between 1890 and WWI, unfolds a tapestry of ancient enchantments before your eyes. The intricate, curvilinear floral motifs seamlessly blend with a bold color palette, creating a harmonious equilibrium that transports you to a realm of woven wonder.
At its heart lies a mesmerizing cusped medallion, radiating with timeless charm and anchored by pendants adorned with a central rose, surrounded by a lush display of botanicals. The artistry extends to an alluring allover pattern featuring stylized florals, serrated leaves, peonies, lilies, and angular stems, gracefully set against an abrased tan backdrop that bears the marks of its storied past.
Elaborate corner spandrels echo the medallion's design, trimmed with a cloudband edging seamlessly merging into the composition. The rug is framed with a floral and rosette border, enclosed by carnation meander guard borders, echoing the diverse regional traditions of Sarouk weaving.
As you trace the patterns with your fingers, you'll feel the visual complexity and vibrancy of the colors, creating an esoteric juxtaposition within the geometric floral design. This antique Persian masterpiece is not merely a floor covering; it's a statement piece that captivates your senses with layers of joy.
In the spirit of the historical evolution of Sarouk carpets, this antique Persian rug echoes the sophistication of the early designs, ensuring a timeless and enduring aesthetic that transcends the boundaries of time and style.

Sarouk is a name of a village situated about 25 miles north of Arak (Sultanabad). This region became one of the most active regions of carpet weaving in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. The city's most famous designer was named Farahan. To be able to compete with Kashan in rug commerce, Farahan designed rugs with center medallion motives. Today, these carpets are referred to as Antique 19th century Farahan Sarouks.
In the 1920s and 1930s a well-known rug dealer in New York thought that Americans would buy rose-field carpets with blue borders and detached floral motives.
