Antique Persian Farahan Rug
About Farahan Rugs
Farahan rugs are woven in the Arak region of central Persia and are considered the antecedent of the celebrated Sarouk tradition. Antique Farahans are prized for finely drawn Herati patterns and floral lattice work, typically set against deep indigo or soft madder grounds. The tightly hand-knotted wool and restrained, elegant palette give Farahan carpets a scholarly refinement collectors seek out. Predating many later Arak-region weavings, genuine antique Farahans are increasingly rare and valued for their historic pedigree and understated beauty.

Like all First Rugs pieces, this carpet carries the natural character of handwork — subtle irregularities in knotting, color, and abrash that give it lasting individuality rather than the uniformity of a machine-made reproduction. It is ideal for a living room, family room, or dining room, and, with routine care, is built to be enjoyed for generations.
