Antique Farahan Wool Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Persian weaving hails from the highly esteemed region of farahan, a provenance celebrated for its meticulous knotting and sophisticated design vocabulary during the late 19th century. The piece immediately establishes its classical pedigree through its balanced composition and masterful use of space. The central field is dominated by a luminous ground color, characteristic of the finest pieces from this era. The soft, elegant palette of ivory Beige Cream White provides a striking contrast to the deep indigo and rich terracotta highlights found in the central medallion and spandrels.
