This oversized antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug features a grand central medallion in navy and ivory with elaborate floral scrolling, set against a rich red field densely covered in curving vines and palmettes. The wide borders include multiple layers of floral guards and cartouches, creating a luxurious frame that draws the eye inward.
Hand-knotted in the late 19th century with fine wool on a cotton base, this rug has a medium pile that has worn evenly to a velvety texture while retaining sharp detail and structural strength. The natural dyes have mellowed over time, giving the colors a warm, authentic glow suitable for high-traffic formal areas.
Sarouk Farahan rugs are prized for their durable construction and sophisticated designs inspired by classical Persian court carpets, making them timeless centerpieces in grand rooms. This large size anchors expansive spaces without overwhelming them.
Ideal for dining rooms, great halls, or large living areas, this statement rug adds historical elegance and comfortable luxury underfoot for generations.
