Antique Sarouk – Farahan Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite Persian weaving presents the classic Sarouk-Farahan aesthetic in a highly desirable small scatter size. The density of the knotting and the quality of the wool suggest it was crafted for the discerning market of the early 20th century.
The central field is dominated by a luminous ivory ground, providing a striking contrast to the saturated, deep indigo of the central quatrefoil medallion. Accents of soft rose, pale blue, and terracotta are skillfully distributed throughout the intricate vine work, highlighting the sophisticated dyeing techniques employed by the master weavers.
A characteristic feature of this style is the highly detailed design, showcasing a profusion of stylized blossoms, palmettes, and delicate leaves. The overall composition is a superb example of traditional Persian floral rugs, where every inch of the surface is covered in meticulously rendered detail, avoiding any open space.
Framed by a rich, madder-red main border, this piece retains the elegance and robust construction typical of the finest Persian antique rugs. Its exceptional condition and manageable dimensions make it a perfect accent piece for a refined interior setting.
