Antique Farahan Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite piece represents the finest weaving traditions of the Farahan region of Persia during the late 19th century. Known for their sophisticated palettes and durable construction, rugs from this area are highly sought after by collectors of fine textiles.

The use of rich terracotta and deep indigo in the border provides a striking contrast to the luminous ivory ground of the main field, demonstrating a masterful command of natural dyes and color balance. As a genuine example of antique rugs, this hand-knotted pile carpet exhibits the desirable patina and soft wear consistent with over a century of careful preservation.
