About the Item

78971 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Farahan Rug, 03'07 x 04'11. This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Persian Farahan rug embodies the refined elegance and masterful craftsmanship of 19th-century Persian weaving traditions. At its heart, a striking navy blue medallion unfolds with intricate floral motifs, each petal and vine meticulously arranged to create a harmonious balance of form and movement. Framed by an beige ground, the cusped medallion is accentuated by delicate branching tendrils, flourishing with stylized blossoms and arabesque scrolls that impart an ethereal sense of rhythm and grace. The symmetrical arrangement of these botanical motifs evokes the grandeur of Persian gardens, symbolizing life, renewal, and the enduring beauty of nature. The intricate detailing extends into the red corner spandrels, which mirror the floral splendor of the medallion, creating a seamless transition between the central field and its outer framework. The spandrels, with their blue and green accents, are a testament to the artistic depth of Farahan weavers, who were celebrated for their ability to blend structure with organic movement. The warm red hues that embrace the edges of the field lend a sense of depth and warmth, grounding the composition while enhancing its captivating visual contrast. Encircling this Late 19th Century Persian rug is a richly ornamented border of deep indigo, adorned with a procession of stylized palmettes and floral rosettes, each interconnected by undulating vines. This refined framing device is further flanked by a geometric inner and outer guard border, creating a layered composition that exudes timeless sophistication. The careful balance of color, proportion, and intricate design speaks to the enduring legacy of Persian Farahan rugs, which were cherished for their elegance and durability. This antique Persian Farahan rug is a true masterpiece of textile artistry, embodying the depth of Persian cultural heritage and the unparalleled skill of its weavers. Its enchanting design and harmonious color palette make it a versatile addition to a range of interior styles, from classic European elegance to sophisticated Bohemian spaces. Whether placed in a study, library, or intimate living space, this woven wonder serves as a refined statement piece, imbuing any environment with a sense of history, warmth, and artistic grandeur.
