Antique Farahan Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of antique rugs from the late 19th century showcases the refined weaving traditions specific to the Arak region of Iranian / Persian rugs. The Farahan provenance is renowned for its delicate balance of structure and ornamentation, reflecting a classical approach to Persian design. The wool pile displays a beautifully aged patina, featuring a central field dominated by a soft, warm ivory color.

The subtle color shifts, achieved through natural dyes, speak to the rug's authenticity and age.
