FERAHAN, Northwest Persian

132 x 203cm
2nd Quarter, 19th Century
(High-Collectible-Plus) (One of 70 "Best-of-Their-Type Rugs" Sold in 2025) Superlative coloring, an extremely fine weave, and a commanding, visionary design are the hallmarks of this exquisite, extremely rare, early piece of antique Ferahan rug weaving mastery. Throughout, virtuoso abrash color striation infuses this antique Persian rug’s entire composition - both its majestic medallion and borders - with profound depth and a subtle yet powerful sense of movement. The design in the top half of its offset teardrop medallion artistically elongates in the bottom half. Shining from the ivory field, the majestic size of the crimson centerpiece is emphasized by the delicacy of the life-like floral sprays that surround it. A superb crispness of the drawing contributes greatly to this sublime antique rug's elegant, singular ambiance.
