This antique Persian Fereghan carpet dates from 1850 and is woven from wool and cotton. The piece displays a beige and navy palette enriched with red accents, featuring a central field filled with floral motifs, stylized palmettes, and the Herati pattern, all enclosed by a wide, multi-banded geometric border. The visible details include an all-over design, a low pile, softened edges, and visible wear across the surface that indicates considerable age. Measuring 230 x 341 cm, the carpet suits an English Country House aesthetic and functions well on a floor in a living room, dining room, or hallway when paired with traditional brown furniture.

FAQs

Fereghan carpets are traditional hand-knotted Persian textiles produced in the Fereghan region of central Iran, particularly during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are recognized for their fine weaving, clipped low pile, and structured floral or Herati patterns.

These carpets are constructed using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable dyes were historically employed to produce deep navy blues, terracotta reds, and soft cream background tones.

Authentic pieces generally display asymmetric Persian knots on a cotton warp, a low-profile pile, and characteristic design elements such as a dark navy border surrounding an ivory or cream central field filled with stylized botanical motifs.

A large Persian carpet serves as a visual anchor in a room, pairing equally well with period mahogany furniture or clean-lined contemporary seating to add colour contrast and textural depth.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a rotating beater bar to prevent fibre loss. Professional cleaning should be undertaken by specialist rug restorers using gentle hand-washing techniques.
