Farahan Sarouk / 22789

This Farahan Sarouk antique rug measures 8' 8" x 12' 3" and carries a softly worn, layered field of faded blue, brick red, and brown. Floral vines drift across the open ground, gathered around a central medallion and framed by a generous border of palmettes and scrolling motifs. The palette has mellowed beautifully, with areas of abrasion that lend the surface a quiet, time-softened depth. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the formal balance and floral detail associated with Farahan Sarouk designs, while the medium distress preserves a lived-in, richly atmospheric character.
