Antique Ferahan Sarouk Carpet

Period: Late 19th Century
Origin: Farahan-Sarouk, Iran
Dimensions: 285 x 390 cm

This 19th century Ferahan Sarouk rug is a magnificent example of the Persian weaving tradition from the Arak region, prized for its exceptional wool quality and regal presence. These rugs were historically favored by both the Persian aristocracy and Western collectors for their sophisticated designs and durable construction.

The composition features a large, intricately detailed central medallion that rests upon a vibrant salmon red field. The field is densely populated with a graceful array of floral sprays, vine scrolls, and classical Persian motifs that radiate from the center toward the decorative ivory spandrels. The use of varied shades of indigo, forest green, and gold against the warm red ground creates a rich, multi layered visual experience that defines the elegance of the Ferahan style.

Surrounding the central field is a wide, authoritative main border on a deep navy ground, showcasing a rhythmic succession of stylized palmettes and rosettes. This primary border is flanked by multiple delicate guard stripes, which provide a refined frame to the complex interior. This rug represents the perfect marriage of village weaving charm and imperial workshop precision, making it a timeless piece of 19th century art.
