Antique Farahan Persian Ivory 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Persian Farahan piece exemplifies the finest weaving traditions of the Arak region. The subtle, luminous quality of the central ground is achieved through a masterful use of an ivory field, providing a serene backdrop for the detailed botanical motifs. The composition employs a highly articulated allover design characterized by delicate sprays of flowering vines and stylized palmettes, avoiding the central medallion structure often seen in contemporaneous Persian work. This restrained yet complex patterning speaks to a sophisticated aesthetic favored by European and American collectors at the turn of the century. A striking terracotta border frames the composition, providing a necessary contrast and definition against the neutral ground.
