This exquisite mid-19th century Persian Farahan rug showcases a masterful Persian Garden design, celebrated for its elegance, rich symbolism, and finely woven detail. Set on a deep red field, the expansive central medallion—rendered in a rare and luminous saffron yellow—nearly fills the entire main field, creating a dramatic and visually captivating focal point. Delicate floral accents in shades of pink, baby blue, and green are skillfully integrated throughout, reflecting the sophistication of Persian design traditions.
The primary border, in a deep midnight blue, is adorned with vibrant floral motifs in complementary tones of yellow, pink, blue, and green. The natural dyes used in this rug lend a soft yet striking palette that continues to age beautifully.
