Antique Sarouk Farahan rug

Circa 1900
150 × 105 cm 4’11” x 3’5”
£2,750

Description

A fine and beautifully detailed antique Sarouk Farahan rug, with an intricate boteh design in the main field, flanked by four corner spandrels in red with lovely ‘abrash’ the Persian word for dye change.  As this rug was woven around 120 years ago, dyes oxidise and have faded over the last century, adding character and vivid charm.  Some excellent greens and pale blue dyes, with a natural off white wool main border, this lifts the rugs palette too.  Ideal for a bedroom, in front of a fire, study or entrance hall.  Every one of our carpets, rugs and runners are supplied with the best anti-slip underlay included in the price.

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,  Sarouk Farahan or Fereghan rugs and carpets like this constituted some of the most impressive examples of the great revival of classical Persian rug weaving, far more so than the Sarouk carpets of subsequent generations. Here a grand scalloped circular medallion with what appears to be a crown with jewels at either end, sit with the ivory corner spandrels that are uplifting to the rest of this fine rugs palette. The lush, lustrous pile provides the perfect complement to the overwhelmingly delicate coloration of soft saffron yellow, ivory and red tones.
