This Persian runner rug from the Farahan region dates to 1900. It is constructed from wool and cotton with a hand-knotted finish. The piece displays a soft red central field containing a multi-tiered Herati floral pattern, complemented by green dyes and ivory white minor borders along with navy blue outer borders. Visible signs of age include gentle wear accrued over its 120-year history. The runner measures 458 cm high, 102 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. Well suited for an English Country House interior style, the rug functions effectively as a decorative floor covering in long hallways, corridors, or spacious entryways. Its classical design and traditional motifs integrate smoothly into historic or traditional residential settings, adding texture and warmth to high-traffic domestic areas while maintaining its preserved decorative condition.

FAQs

Farahan rugs originate from the Arak region of Persia, renowned for high knot density, intricate floral designs, and durable construction developed during the nineteenth century.

These rugs are woven using hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a cotton warp and weft structure, coloured using natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces feature slight irregularities in the hand-woven structure, soft dye variations known as abrash, and hand-bound selvedges without synthetic backings.

Place the runner in entryways, narrow corridors, or alongside kitchen islands to introduce warmth, geometric structure, and visual depth to hard flooring.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush, rotate periodically to distribute foot traffic, and use a dedicated underlay pad to prevent movement and preserve the pile.
