Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Dragon Rug, circa 1900 — Boldly colorful yet classical in design, this antique Persian carpet is a striking example of fine craftsmanship. Delicate flowers swathed in pink, orange, and white colors lay nestled in a bright red outer border that frames a bolder pattern of orange and red colored fauna atop a black background. The design slips back to a softer border with lightly colored patters on a bright red background, all of which draw you into the eye of the piece that dazzles your vision with bright flowers colored in stunning pinks and reds with leaves of deep green and light browns that flow over a soft blueish gray background. The contrasting patterns and rich colors make our antique Persian rug a collectors dream.
