Antique Farahan Rug

19th century
Description

Antique Farahan rug from Malayer region in Western Central Persia, woven around 1890-1900 in fabulous condition.  A very fine weave and and accomplished weaver has produced this fine classical rug.  Every thought has been taken to execute the design from the central medallion to the traditional corner designs, known as spandrels.  Flowing vines with elegant flowers in the deep blue field, sandy yellow corner tones combine well with the splash of warm terracotta red in the medallion.

Pile height is excellent all over, finely woven and cut to perfection.  We love antique Farahan rugs and this 120 year old example is a really wonderful piece.  No damage or wear, it has been used but very well looked after.  Please view all the extra images to see the quality of this antique rug up close.

Arrange a home visit with us or book an appointment to visit our barn showroom in Surrey.  We would love to help you in your preferred way.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Farahan rugs are hand-knotted textiles originating from the Farahan region in central Persia, known for intricate floral patterns, central medallions, and balanced palettes.

These carpets are typically woven using hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a cotton or wool foundation with dense, fine knotting.

Authentic pieces generally feature soft natural dyes such as indigo blue, terracotta, and sage green, alongside precise floral palmettes and structured geometric medallions.

A detailed Persian carpet can be positioned beneath foundational furniture to anchor a living room or dining area, introducing pattern and depth to contemporary spaces.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a beater bar, rotate periodically to balance light exposure and wear, and treat spills immediately with mild water solutions.
