Antique Sarouk Farahan Rug

A true 19th century antique Persian Sarouk Farahan. This work of art is in great condition for its age. Note the true vegetable dyed colors which have softened beautifully over the centuries, especially the green. Beautiful greens are among the most difficult colors to achieve with vegetable dyes, and these greens are impeccable. The best antique Farahan rugs woven 90-175 years ago are considered to be among the most original and artistic antique room size carpets ever woven in Persia. Their high-grade wool, passionate uncompromising workmanship, sublime color palettes and durable construction have made them some of the top choices for European and East Coast families since the middle of the 19th century.
