Antique Sarouk - Farahan Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exquisite piece represents the finest weaving traditions of the Arak region. The Sarouk-Farahan style is highly prized among Persian rugs for its finely detailed, curvilinear designs and exceptional wool quality, reflecting the sophisticated taste of early 20th-century Iran.

Woven in the early 1900s, this example features a striking central design composed of stylized palmettes and sweeping vinery that radiates symmetrically across the length of the piece. The rare, luminous ivory field provides a brilliant contrast to the saturated secondary colors of madder red, deep indigo, and soft sky blue, characteristic of the best farahan rugs produced during this period.

Measuring 8'2" x 3'3", this narrow format makes it perfectly suited for use among hallway runner rugs. Its robust structure and high knot density ensure that it retains the integrity of its intricate design, a testament to the enduring craftsmanship found in all genuine antique rugs from the region.

The main border, featuring repeating rosettes and detailed floral cartouches set against a rich navy ground, frames the central panel with formal elegance and precision. This piece is a sophisticated architectural accent, offering both historical depth and unparalleled decorative value to a discerning interior. See less
