This beautiful, richly detailed antique Persian Farahan rug is hand-woven with fine silk, giving it a luminous sheen and a delicate texture. The central field displays a dense, symmetrical floral pattern with intricate vinery and palmettes in deep shades of indigo, gold, and emerald, over a soft aubergine background. The border is especially striking, adorned with large ivory floral rosettes on a contrasting plum-purple ground, framed by slender guard borders featuring meandering vines.
Farahan rugs like this were highly prized in the 19th and early 20th centuries for their refined craftsmanship, durability, and elegance. This piece exemplifies the classic Herati-inspired layout, but with a more painterly, almost botanical execution, suggesting it was woven for an elite patron. Its muted, time-softened palette and subtle patina speak of age and authenticity.
A rare and luxurious textile, this rug would have graced a noble interior and today stands as both a collector's piece and a work of art.
Authentic vintage and antique Persian rugs are hand-knotted with silk or wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
