77179 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, 14'04 x 20'04.

This magnificent hand-knotted wool antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug is a masterful blend of intricate design and timeless craftsmanship, reflecting the elegance of 19th-century Persian artistry. At its heart lies a striking central medallion adorned with trefoil pendants at either end, radiating symmetry and balance. The medallion is richly detailed with interlacing floral and arabesque motifs that create a captivating focal point, beautifully set against the midnight navy blue field. The contrast between the medallion's warm rust tones and the deep blue backdrop adds depth and visual interest, highlighting the intricate details within the design.

The midnight navy field is densely adorned with an all-over botanical pattern, including flowering vines, stylized foliage, and delicate floral sprigs, creating a lush, garden-like effect. The corner spandrels, rendered in ivory with complementary floral elements, echo the central medallion's design, providing a harmonious transition from the field to the rug's ornate borders. These corner designs serve as visual anchors, balancing the rug's intricate composition and enhancing its overall symmetry.

Framing the composition is a richly detailed main border, featuring an elaborate floral and vine design in warm rust tones that echo the central medallion. This main border is flanked by a series of inner and outer guard bands, each meticulously woven with smaller floral and geometric patterns, adding layers of complexity and elegance. These borders not only enhance the rug’s structural integrity but also serve as a graceful frame that ties together the intricate motifs of the field and medallion.

This antique Persian Sarouk Farahan rug is a testament to the skill and artistry of Persian weavers, combining bold design elements with a sophisticated color palette. Its timeless appeal makes it a versatile addition to a variety of interiors, from classic traditional spaces to grand contemporary settings. Whether placed in a formal living room, a grand dining hall, or a luxurious hospitality environment, this oversized rug exudes an air of opulence and refinement, capturing the essence of Persian rug-making traditions.
