This antique Persian Farahan rug showcases the exquisite artistry and craftsmanship characteristic of this renowned weaving region.
The rug features a striking design with a prominent central medallion in navy blue, surrounded by intricate floral motifs and geometric patterns in a sophisticated palette of ivory, salmon pink, light blue, and brown.
The border echoes the central design with a complementary pattern.
The rug's high knot density suggests a piece of considerable quality, woven with fine wool on a cotton foundation. The wool appears to have a soft sheen, indicating the use of high-quality materials.
The overall condition appears excellent with even wear, the possibility of it being an antique, potentially dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century.
The classic Farahan design, combined with the harmonious color palette and the rug's apparent age and quality, makes this a truly exceptional piece.
It would be a stunning addition to any traditional, transitional, or even modern setting, adding a touch of timeless elegance and sophistication.
