About the Item
74980 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Farahan Rug, 08'08 x 11'04. This hand-knotted wool Late 19th Century antique Persian Farahan rug is a captivating testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Persian weavers during the era. The Farahan rug's beige field is adorned with an allover Herati pattern, one of the most revered and intricate motifs in Persian rug design. This pattern, characterized by its fish motif nestled among diamond-shaped flowers and curling leaves, creates a harmonious balance between geometric and floral elements, evoking a sense of rhythmic motion across the entire rug. The delicate composition of the Herati pattern speaks to the weaver’s skill in maintaining precision over the vast expanse of the field, making it a truly awe-inspiring piece.
The antique Persian Farahan rug’s design is further enhanced by the elaborate undulating corner spandrels, which frame the field with bold and dynamic shapes, adding depth and complexity to the overall layout. These corner spandrels, rendered in striking navy blue and red tones, introduce a layer of visual intrigue that contrasts beautifully against the softer beige background. Their graceful curves and botanical accents serve as an elegant prelude to the rug's richly adorned border. The main border features an elaborate red palmette and lotus design, interwoven with floral vines, bringing the essence of Persian garden symbolism to life. This botanical theme is a hallmark of Persian rug artistry, representing growth, fertility, and abundance.
Adding to the intricacy of the border are the inner and outer carnation meander guard borders, which flank the palmette and lotus border. These meandering vines, filled with delicate carnation blossoms, weave gracefully along the edges, creating a soft transition between the central field and the borders. Complementing these are the subsidiary inner and outer sawtooth guard bands, a subtle yet significant detail that highlights the structural integrity of the design. The crenelated fence motif on the outermost guard border, symbolizing protection and security, provides the finishing touch, framing the entire composition in a symbolic gesture of safety and stability.
This antique Persian Farahan rug is not only a masterful example of 19th-century craftsmanship but also a versatile piece that brings historical depth and elegance to any interior. Its timeless design, featuring both floral and geometric elements, makes it suitable for a range of settings, from traditional estates to contemporary spaces looking for a touch of history. The rich color palette of reds, blues, and beiges, along with the rug’s sophisticated patterns, ensures that it will remain a focal point in any room, a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian rug weaving.
