Antique Persian Farahan Gold Rug with Ornate Medallion in Multicolor - Rug & Kilim
Hand-knotted in wool circa 1900-1920, this 5x9 antique Persian Farahan rug joins Rug & Kilim's Antique collection. The piece features a striking floral medallion on a luminous camel-gold field framed by richly detailed borders. On the Design:This antique Persian Farahan rug reflects the refined artistic tradition that established Farahan among the most admired weaving centers of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Persia. The design is anchored by an elegant elongated medallion whose floral geometry unfolds with remarkable clarity across an unusually open field. Unlike the densely patterned designs often associated with Persian carpets, this piece embraces restraint, allowing the central medallion and its branching vinery to command attention against a luminous ground. The balanced drawing and architectural symmetry exemplify the sophisticated decorative language for which antique Farahan rugs remain highly sought after.Particularly compelling is the interplay between the warm camel-gold field and the vivid palette of red, ivory, and deep blue accents that animate the medallion and border system. The spacious field creates a striking sense of contrast, enhancing both the scale and intricacy of the floral motifs. Surrounding the design, a richly detailed border of botanical ornament and vinery frames the rug with exceptional precision while preserving the openness of the central design. The result is a refined antique Farahan whose elegant balance of color, proportion, and decorative restraint remains timeless in both traditional and contemporary interiors.ConditionThis antique Persian Farahan rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
