FERAHAN
West Central Persian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) A rapturous glow and a partially whimsical, partially formal ambiance characterize this inventive, appealing small piece. On a honey-toned ground, its multi-medallion design is rare for a small rug and intimates the great dexterity and acumen of its weaver. Note the subtle offsetting of the top and bottom medallions, suggesting a pattern that continues beyond the borders. The charmingly drawn blossoms dramatically silhouetted on the midnight indigo of the medallions continue in the flower-studded field, every intricate botanical nuance reflected in exceptional clarity. In a delightful artistic decision, chevron branched stalks ascend the rug on both sides, cleverly intersecting the partially obscured medallions at the vertical perimeters. Because of its spectacular dye work, including astonishingly rich blues, sea green, exotic electrum hues, and potent corals, the vibrancy has little changed since the rug’s inception.
