A measured, medallion Farahan Sarouk rendered in warm gold and brown over a neutral field, this antique rug reads as composed and tactile. The central stepped cartouche sits within an active floral vine ground, the pattern carried through layered guard borders. Surface wear is restrained; colours retain depth while showing a soft patina that suggests careful use. The hand of traditional Persian design remains evident in the balanced motifs and refined palette. Circa 1885 - 1900. Exact size: 9' 0" x 11' 9". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
