Antique Sarouk - Farahan Persian Allover Floral Herati Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite Persian weaving represents the finest artistry of the Farahan district, renowned for producing some of the most sophisticated antique rugs of the late 19th century. Its complex, repeating lattice structure showcases a mastery of scale and detail. The field features a delicate, repeating herati motif set against a luminous ground. This skillful use of negative space allows the intricate terracotta, teal, and rust tones to truly resonate against the serene ivory beige cream foundation. The allover design avoids a central medallion, providing visual continuity and flow across the entire surface. A dramatic, deep indigo border frames the composition, providing necessary contrast and anchoring the exuberant internal pattern with stately formality.
