Antique Sarouk - Farahan Persian Ivory 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece is a testament to late 19th-century Persian weaving mastery, representing the finest traditions of the Arak region. Its remarkable preservation and sophisticated design make it a highly desirable example among antique rugs sought by discerning collectors. The field presents a striking visual rhythm, utilizing a highly stylized vertical stripe motif often referred to as a barber pole pattern. This dense, repeating structure creates a captivating allover design that draws the eye vertically, giving the piece a sense of height and formality despite its intimate scale. The sophisticated palette relies on a dramatic contrast between rich, saturated madder and deep aubergine tones and the luminous foundation color.
