Woven in the highly respected tradition of Farahan, this piece exhibits the sophisticated palette characteristic of the region, utilizing deep indigo and rich terracotta tones. The wool pile, finely knotted, has achieved a magnificent patina over its century of existence, softening the contrast and enhancing its historical depth.
The field features a dense, repeating lattice of stylized botanical forms, creating a captivating allover rug design that draws the eye along the length of the runner. Unlike medallion formats, this continuous pattern ensures visual flow, making it ideal for long sightlines in corridors or galleries.
As a superb example of early 20th-century weaving, this runner transcends mere floor covering, acting as a foundational element of interior design. It is a valuable addition to any collection of fine antique rugs and textiles.
Condition: Good.
