Classic Antique Late 19th Century Red Floral Medallion Pattern Oversized Persian Sarouk Farahan Carpet

A distinguished example of late 19th-century Persian rugs and weaving tradition, this Red Persian Farahan carpet reflects a period when artisan weavers in central Persia created some of the most admired classical rugs in the export market. Crafted with meticulous hand-knotting and rich red natural dyes, Persian Sarouk carpets from this era are celebrated for their elegant medallion compositions and finely rendered floral motifs, where formal structure and graceful botanical imagery find poetic harmony. At the heart of this piece, a refined central medallion anchors the composition — a design element that embodies Persian artistic ideals of symmetry and focal clarity. Encircling this medallion, a tapestry of stylised blossoms, scrolling vines, and arabesque details unfolds across the red field, evoking garden landscapes woven into textile form.
