About Sarouk Farahan Rugs
Sarouk Farahan rugs are among the most respected antique Persian weavings, originating in the Farahan region near Arak. These rugs gained prominence in the 19th and early 20th centuries for their high-quality craftsmanship and elegant designs. Unlike later American Sarouks, Farahan pieces often feature more open fields and symmetrical floral motifs, sometimes centered around a medallion or stylized vase pattern. They are typically woven using tightly spun wool and exhibit a higher knot density, enhancing their clarity of design and durability.
Unique Characteristics of this Sarouk Farahan Rug
This particular piece stands out for its fine weave and rich palette. The saturated red field is balanced by intricate midnight blue borders and soft ivory, gold, and light blue floral accents. The compact size paired with the rare quality of detail makes it both collectible and highly functional for smaller spaces.
