Antique Sarouk-Farahan, Persia, late nineteenth century. Antique Sarouk
Farahan’s like this are renowned for their use of refined classical
Persian designs combined with a freer, more spontaneous drawing
characteristic of tribal or village rug weaving. A
multi-lobed medallion in yellow and blue hovers at the center of the
field, surrounded by sprays of flowering vines. Cornerpieces like the
medallion round out the design, enclosed yet again by a delicate
vinescroll border on a blue ground. The saturated color of this carpet
is extraordinary, even among Farahans. It provides the perfect
complement to the dynamic finesse of the design.
