Late 19th Century Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug with Traditional Style

About the Item

79125 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, 10'09 x 16'00. Woven in the twilight of the 19th century, this majestic hand knotted wool antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug is a poetic relic of a bygone era—an era when each knot was a meditation, each motif a whispered prayer passed through the hands of master weavers. With a rich navy blue field blooming under a sweeping ivory medallion, the Farahan rug speaks in the visual language of balance and beauty. Palmettes, vines, and floral sprays entwine in a lyrical dance of symmetry, as if the garden of paradise had been captured in wool. The composition unfolds with gentle complexity, its medallion mirrored above and below, grounding the eye in its celestial geometry. The palette is a painter’s dream: warm madder reds, soft pistachio greens, indigo blues, and the glowing light of natural ivory dyes create a tableau of chromatic harmony. The ivory medallion glows like moonlight breaking through a twilight garden, its floral tracery alive with timeless elegance. The saturated ground brims with life—every petal and vine, every arabesque curve is hand-knotted with purpose, echoing the rhythms of nature and Persian poetics. This is not merely a rug, but a woven manuscript of botanical mysticism and royal refinement. Encircling this luminous field is a border both grand and intimate. Circular floral cartouches framed in rosettes alternate with sinuous arabesques in the main border, while multiple guard bands add layers of ornate detail. Each border band speaks of Farahan’s legacy as a region of exceptional artistry, a place where formal courtly design met village ingenuity. This unity of grandeur and grace makes Sarouk Farahan rugs among the most prized of all antique Persian carpets—each one a living memory of the Qajar dynasty’s artistic renaissance. In its generous scale and masterful detail, this Late 19th Century Farahan rug invites not only admiration but reverence. It is a timeless heirloom, capable of transforming nearly any space into a sanctuary of art and soul. To walk upon it is to tread through a garden dreamed by generations past—to be enveloped in a story knotted with patience, vision, and profound beauty. As enduring as the Persian poetic tradition it echoes, this woven wonder is a tribute to human craftsmanship at its most sublime. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 10'09 x 16'00. Pile Height: 0.20 of an inch. Date: 1880's. Late 19th Century.
