Antique Coral Sarouk - Farahan Persian Floral, Medallion Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of workshop artistry from the Arak region. The Farahan style, celebrated for its refined design vocabulary, is a cornerstone of Iranian Persian rugs and showcases the sophisticated mastery of the weavers during the Qajar era. The primary field is dominated by a saturated, luminous shade of red, leaning toward deep coral, providing a vibrant backdrop for the intricate drawing. The complex design eschews a strict central medallion for an expansive, repeating pattern of stylized palmettes, arabesques, and delicate blossoms. This dense arrangement, characteristic of the finest floral rugs, creates a sense of endless movement and depth across the surface.
