About the Item

This magnificent antique Persian Farahan Sarouk rug, woven circa 1900 in the Arak region of Iran, is a remarkable example of refined village craftsmanship and classical Persian elegance. The expansive composition features a deep indigo blue field adorned with a scrolling lattice of stylized floral motifs, enclosed within a unique hexagonal medallion layout. The ivory corner spandrels and intricate vine tracery lend the piece architectural balance, while subtle abrash and patina throughout the field reflect the natural vegetable dyes and hand-spun wool used by 19th-century weavers. The wide main border is framed with rosettes, blossoming cartouches, and a succession of angular vines rendered in tones of madder red, gold, pistachio green, ivory, and midnight blue. The elongated proportions and finely executed floral lattice elevate this rug into a true collector’s piece, perfect for a grand salon, formal dining room, or library. Highly sought after for their durability, harmony of design, and regal aesthetic, antique Farahan Sarouk rugs are rare in such large format and well-preserved condition. This rug represents the golden age of Persian village weaving, offering timeless elegance for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
