Antique Sarouk - Farahan Persian Blue 1880s Rug

Antique Sarouk - Farahan Persian Blue 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional Persian weaving hails from the Arak region, embodying the refined craftsmanship characteristic of late 19th-century farahan production. Its deep, saturated palette and dense, highly articulated design immediately establish its status among premier antique rugs. The field is dominated by a rich, midnight indigo, a classic shade highly sought after in blue color rugs. This dark ground provides a striking contrast to the detailed geometric and stylized floral elements that cover the entire surface. The complex lattice structure organizes the intricate botanical motifs into a mesmerizing, repeating tapestry. Employing a sophisticated allover pattern, the design avoids a central medallion, allowing the eye to wander across the expansive field without interruption.
