About the Item

73477 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, 09'00 x 13'02. Woven in the storied looms of Late 19th Century Persia, this antique Sarouk Farahan rug stands as a radiant testament to the golden age of Iranian textile art—a sublime union of form, symbolism, and spiritual refinement. Exuding a rarefied grandeur, this hand-knotted wool masterpiece was crafted not as a mere floor covering but as a living narrative, capturing the intellectual depth and poetic soul of Persian culture. The rich, red field pulses with life, its warmth deepened by the presence of an indigo-cusped central medallion—a majestic heart from which all other elements orbit with deliberate grace. Like the architectural symmetry of an ancient Persian courtyard, every motif radiates with precision and intent, speaking to a culture where beauty and meaning are inextricably intertwined. At the core of this exquisite work, stylized botanical elements unfurl in a deliberate rhythm—serrated leaves, roundel rosettes, sprigs of hyacinths, and abstract cypress trees populate the field with symbolic abundance. These natural forms not only evoke the Edenic ideal of the Persian garden but reflect a metaphysical longing for harmony between humanity and the divine. Enhancing this dreamlike tableau are the peacocks—regal and watchful—nestled within each corner spandrel. Far from ornamental, these birds carry profound meaning in Persian iconography: guardians of immortality, emissaries of light, and emblems of noble truth. Their poised forms lend this Farahan rug an elevated, almost mythic, dimension—an invitation into a realm where heritage and aesthetic devotion merge. The exclusive composition is framed with a midnight blue botanical border, a grounding perimeter that echoes the complexity and density of the central design. Palmettes, rosettes, and floral garlands meander in lyrical procession, drawing the viewer’s eye inward and outward like a visual mantra. This is not ornamentation for its own sake—it is a spiritual geometry, a visual expression of inner equilibrium. The addition of flanking inner and outer floral guard bands amplifies the architectural clarity of the piece, making the rug feel like a sanctuary beneath one’s feet. Such intricacy, paired with this level of compositional mastery, is vanishingly rare—a marker of true collectible pedigree. To acquire this antique Sarouk Farahan rug is to invest in a legacy of connoisseurship, scarcity, and social heritage. It is more than a piece of décor—it is a silent orator of history, luxury, and symbolic transcendence. Ideal for curating refined spaces, from Parisian salons to Mediterranean estates, this woven jewel offers an experience that transcends time. It whispers of royal courts and spiritual gardens, of timeless grace and the enduring craftsmanship of hands long vanished but never forgotten. In a world increasingly saturated with the ephemeral, this rug offers something truly irreplaceable: permanence, beauty, and truth, embodied in wool and dye.
