Antique Farahan 24516

Antique Farahan rug (10'8" × 13'5") is a striking and highly expressive example of classic Farahan weaving, celebrated for its refined structure and dramatic visual presence. The composition is dominated by a bold, cruciform central medallion that extends outward with architectural precision, anchoring the design and creating a powerful sense of symmetry. Surrounding the medallion, dense floral and vine motifs fill the field with movement and detail, while an intricately patterned border provides a rich, framing contrast that reinforces the rug’s formal balance.

The color palette is vivid yet harmonious, featuring a saturated brick and terracotta red ground layered with deep navy, indigo, ivory, soft celadon, muted teal, and touches of warm rust and pale gold. These naturally dyed hues have aged gracefully, developing a layered patina that softens the contrasts while preserving the rug’s graphic strength and depth.

Woven with fine wool and exceptional clarity of drawing, this Farahan reflects the precision and durability that made the region’s carpets so highly sought after. Its scale and commanding design make it especially well suited for large living rooms, formal dining spaces, libraries, or grand bedrooms. It pairs beautifully with both traditional interiors and more eclectic or transitional spaces, offering a timeless statement that feels historic, confident, and richly decorative.
