This exceptional Antique Farahan rug (8'6" x 11'10") is a refined example of 19th-century Persian weaving, prized for its intricate drawing, rich coloration, and elegant balance. Handwoven in fine wool, the rug features a striking deep rust-red field anchored by a beautifully articulated geometric floral medallion, surrounded by a dense network of delicate vines and stylized botanicals.

The composition is both structured and fluid—combining the precision of Farahan geometry with the softness of scrolling floral motifs. Accents of midnight navy, ivory, soft blue, and muted camel create contrast and depth, highlighting the complexity of the design while maintaining harmony throughout.

A dramatic navy border, filled with angular floral elements and repeating motifs, frames the field and enhances the rug’s bold presence. The interplay between the saturated field and darker border gives the piece a strong, architectural feel—ideal for anchoring a room.

Subtle age-related wear and natural abrash contribute to its authentic antique character, adding warmth and a sense of history. Known for their fine weave and decorative versatility, Farahan rugs are especially valued for their ability to bridge traditional craftsmanship with timeless design appeal.

At 8'6" x 11'10", this rug is perfectly suited for living rooms, studies, or dining spaces, particularly in interiors that embrace classic, collected, or eclectic aesthetics.
