Antique Farhan Persian Allover Floral Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the finest traditions of Persian craftsmanship. The density and complexity of its design elevate it beyond typical regional pieces, marking it as a highly desirable example among antique rugs. The composition is centered around a majestic Tree of Life motif, blossoming from an ornate urn. This detailed botanical arrangement spreads across a luminous field of ivory beige cream. The use of a light ground enhances the vibrancy of the myriad secondary colors, including deep indigo, rust red, and sage green, drawing the eye to the finely articulated floral elements. Unusually, the base of the design incorporates figurative elements, depicting stylized animals flanking a stepped architectural structure, possibly symbolizing a protective sanctuary.
