This exceptional 19th century Persian Farahan rug from Western Persia features an elegant allover Herati pattern rendered in a deep navy blue field, accented by motifs in brick red, ivory, and soft blue. Woven with extraordinary finesse, this gallery- or room-size rug exemplifies the sophisticated artistry and balance characteristic of the finest Farahan weavings.
The piece is framed by a rare and highly prized pistachio green border—often referred to as "Farahan Pistachio"—that showcases intricate palmette and vine designs in complementary tones of blue, red, and green. Though it exhibits areas of low pile and gentle wear consistent with age, the rug retains its aesthetic brilliance and refined palette, making it a treasured acquisition for both collectors and designers.
A true antique masterpiece, this rug brings timeless elegance and character to traditional, transitional, or curated contemporary interiors.
