A remarkable example of 19th-century Persian village weaving, this Farahan area rug embodies beauty, sophistication, and cultural artistry. Handwoven in Persia during the late 1800s, this piece features the classic Persian Garden design, celebrated for its elegance and refined symmetry.

The rug’s navy field forms a rich and dignified backdrop for an ivory central medallion, delicately woven with flowing vine motifs in green and blue. Each corner is graced with a pale blue spandrel design, enhancing the overall harmony of the composition. The ivory primary border, adorned with meandering vines and stylized floral rosettes, perfectly frames the piece with understated grace.

Woven with an extremely fine weave, this rug stands out for both its craftsmanship and its nuanced palette of natural dyes. Particularly notable is the use of saffron yellow in the field, lending warmth, depth, and a subtle vibrancy that elevates the rug’s aesthetic.

This Persian Farahan rug is not only a sophisticated decorative piece but also a collector-worthy textile, embodying the artistry and legacy of one of Persia’s most revered weaving traditions.
