Antique Oversized Farahan Persian Knotted Rug

Antique Oversized Farahan Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late-19th century weaving originates from the Arak region, a center renowned for producing some of the most sophisticated Iranian / Persian rugs of the Qajar Dynasty. Its masterful construction and rich patina confirm its status as a highly desirable example of antique rugs. The palette is defined by a striking contrast between the deep, saturated indigo of the field—a hallmark of superior vegetable dyes—and the warm, earthy tones of rust, saffron, and ivory that articulate the complex design. The foundation is a mesmerizing blue color field, upon which an intricate, repeating lattice structure creates an elegant allover pattern.
