Antique Sarouk – Farahan Persian Allover Floral Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of Persian weaving originates from the Arak region, renowned for producing some of the finest antique rugs of the early 20th century. Its construction quality and dense knotting speak to the high standards maintained by the master weavers of the Farahan district.

The allover floral design features delicate, meandering vines and stylized blossoms, creating a sense of dynamic, organic movement across the entire surface.
While the structure is technically centered by a prominent lobed medallion, the density of the surrounding floral tracery ensures the pattern reads as a cohesive, unified field. This grand scale piece is perfectly suited for defining a major living area or dining space, classifying it among the finest room size rugs available from this highly sought-after period.
Representing the pinnacle of sophisticated early 20th-century weaving, this Sarouk-Farahan masterwork maintains the formal elegance and enduring appeal characteristic of classic traditional rugs.
