Antique Farahan Carpet

19th century
Description

The large scale floral design on this remarkable antique Fereghan carpet is truly sublime.  With a pale sandy tone background, the subtle muted pale blues, rustic reds and greens make for a marvellous palette of colours.  Fereghan carpets are famous for their deep brown/balck dyes and the border colour is a fantastic and striking contrast to the main field.  It would look magnificent in a large drawing room or dining room.

An early example from 1870-1880, the condition is very good indeed.  With minimal scattered wear, and a few areas of old restoration.  The structure of the carpet is excellent and it has retained all the main outer border design and sides.  The slight wear does not detract from the beauty of this early carpet, if anything it enhances its charm and character.

Please request a home visit to view this large antique Fereghan carpet in situ, we love helping customers or interior designers find the perfect carpet for a home.  We travel all over the UK showing our carpets and rugs in customers homes.

Fereghan carpets are generally one of two types, the first being a full field decoration of floral motifs based on Persian designs, most commonly with the geometric ‘Herati’ design.  The second has a full medallion, usually with a contrasting colour, the edge of which is surrounded by a zig zag or jagged border. The dyes have mellowed beautifully due to the carpets age allowing it to be placed in a drawing room or dining room with ease.

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

Originating from the Arak region of Persia in the nineteenth century, Farahan carpets are renowned for their fine hand-knotted wool construction, sophisticated overall floral motifs, and balanced colour palettes featuring ivory fields contrasted against deep indigo borders.

These carpets are woven using hand-spun wool pile tied onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, employing asymmetric Persian knots to achieve high knot density and precise detail in the design.

Authenticity is indicated by natural dye variations, soft abrash colour shifts, fine weave density visible on the reverse side, and characteristic design features such as overall floral lattices framed by dark borders.

An antique carpet adds texture and historical balance to minimalist or contemporary rooms, anchoring seating arrangements and pairing naturally with natural wood tone furniture, neutral textiles, and classic tailoring.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and utilise high-quality rug padding underneath to protect the foundation fibres.
