This antique Farahan rug, woven in Persia circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet distinguished by its richly drawn all-over field and refined border composition. The deep navy field is layered with intricate floral and boteh-inspired motifs in rust, ivory, and soft olive tones, showcasing the nuanced character and decorative depth collectors prize in early Persian weaving. Its elegant proportions and time-softened palette make it an ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or office.
Faded warm tones of navy, olive, rust, ivory, terra cotta, sage, charcoal, and gold, with a navy field.
Farahan rugs are produced in the Farahan district of Arak province in west-central Iran, one of the most important carpet-weaving regions of the nineteenth century. They are distinguished by their exceptionally fine weave, their use of the Senneh (asymmetric) knot on a cotton foundation, and their characteristic dark green field color — a rare and distinctive feature in Persian carpet making.
Classic Farahan designs include the all-over herati pattern, the mahi (fish) lattice, and elegant medallion compositions. Their restrained palette and precise drawing give them a sophistication that has made them among the most admired of all antique Persian rugs. Farahan weaving largely ceased after the early twentieth century, making fine antique examples rare and increasingly valuable.
