Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – This regal, robust antique Sarouk Farahan rug features a sophisticated inset medallion composition featuring ornate floral arabesques set over alternating ivory and Prussian blue backgrounds. This grand medallion collides with the warm brick-colored field, which completes the classic triad of colors. Deep saturated blue borders outlined by re curving calyces frame the corners of the field and complement the rich blue hues that are featured in the medallion and the stately borders. Multiple sets of narrow, intricately decorated guard bands frame the field and support the charming main borders, which feature a graceful pattern of grand palmettes linked by quaint floral vine scrolls.
