Antique Farahan Small Scatter Size Wool Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional Persian piece from the late Qajar era showcases the robust weaving tradition of the Arak region. The dense, deep indigo field provides a dramatic backdrop for the complex design, highlighting the masterful use of the blue color palette typical of the finest 19th-century dyes. Unlike the more formal court rugs, this Farahan exhibits a vibrant, tribal aesthetic. The central stepped medallion is framed by highly articulated spandrels and multiple minor borders, creating a captivating visual density. The overall composition is a superb example of finely rendered geometric patterns that define the village weaving style of the area. Woven entirely in high-quality wool, the texture and handle of this rug speak to its longevity and meticulous craftsmanship.
