Farahan 1764

A late 19th century Persian Farahan area rug, hand-knotted in camel hair with an elegant allover botanical design. The warm camel field is enlivened by meandering floral branches in soft browns, enhanced by abrash variations that add depth and character. 

The composition is adorned with an elegant allover botanical pattern of meandering floral vines rendered in soft browns, enriched by subtle abrash variations that create visual movement and tonal complexity across the surface. Carefully balanced accents of blue, pink, red, and yellow animate the design, demonstrating the mastery of natural dye traditions for which Farahan rugs are celebrated.

Camelhair Farahan rugs from the 19th century are particularly prized by collectors due to their rarity, refined drawing, and harmonious color palettes.
