Antique Square Sarouk - Farahan Persian Medallion Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional late 19th-century square piece exemplifies the finest weaving traditions of the Arak region. The Farahan style, known for its refined drawing and delicate palette, is highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs. The ivory field provides a luminous backdrop for the intricate, curvilinear design. A subtle, elongated medallion structure anchors the composition, which is otherwise filled with a dense, graceful network of flowering vines, palmettes, and delicate leaves rendered in soft indigo and warm terracotta tones. A strong, dark indigo main border frames the light field, creating powerful visual contrast characteristic of the best Sarouk productions.
