4'5x5'4 Persian-Style Farahan Floral Design Rug | Hand-Knotted Afghan Wool | Ivory Palmette & Vine Antique Rug

About this rug

An ivory ground makes this 4'5" x 5'4" antique Afghan rug feel light and open. Hand-knotted in wool, it is worked in a Persian-style Farahan floral design: across the cream field runs an all-over lattice of polychrome palmettes, leafy vines and small blossoms in rose, indigo, gold and soft green. A dark navy border of linked rosettes contains the pattern and sharpens the contrast. Unlike the dark tribal weaves of the region, this floral scheme is gentle and decorative, the kind of piece that brightens a bedroom, nursery, or reading corner. The scale is intimate — an accent rug rather than a room-filler — and the ivory ground keeps the colours fresh. Densely knotted and one of a kind, with only a single example available.
