Woven with remarkable precision, the navy field is adorned with an all-over Herati design, centered by an elegant elongated medallion that adds structure and visual balance. The composition is framed by a highly desirable ivory ground border, showcasing repeating geometric motifs and intricate palmette forms in shades of blue, green, rust red, and brown. The contrast between the deep navy field and the luminous ivory border enhances the clarity of the design and reflects the refined aesthetic associated with antique Farahan weavings. Known for their fine weave, durability, and timeless geometric patterns, Farahan rugs are among the most sought-after antique Persian carpets.
