Oversized Antique Persian Farahan Sarouk Rug with Navy Field and Ornate Floral Medallion, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – A deep navy-blue field filled with delicately drawn flowering branches gives this oversized antique Persian Farahan Sarouk rug its remarkable depth and character. At its center, an elaborate coral and blue-green medallion anchors its composition, surrounded by decorative ivory vines and florals. The contrast between the dark background and luminous floral details makes the intricate drawing especially compelling.
The central medallion unfolds through a series of interlocking floral compartments in soft hues of coral, green, blue, and ivory. Carefully articulated pendants extend above and below the medallion to emphasize the length of the overall weaving. The particularly dense composition gives the rug a layered design, making for an impressive and complete visual.
An array of stylized flowers and branching forms make up the field’s intricate patterning, combining graceful curves with angular details. Coral corner panels echo the shape and decoration of the central medallion. The broad coral border is similarly decorative, featuring large palmettes and rosettes among curling, stylized vines. Both drawing and color palette remains consistent throughout, complementing the rug’s cohesive decorative design.
The rug’s oversized proportions allow its intricate pattern to develop on a generous scale. From across a room, the medallion, shaped corners, and substantial border create a confident architectural arrangement. Up close, the wealth of botanical detail becomes the main attraction.
For a spacious living room, dining room, or library, this antique Farahan Sarouk offers rich color and a strong decorative presence. Its navy-and-coral palette pairs beautifully with walnut furniture, warm leather, cream upholstery, and antique brass. Additionally, its expansive scale, fine ornamentation, and balanced color makes for an appealing foundation in interiors with substantial furnishings.
