FERAHAN, Northwest Persian
4' 6" x 6' 5"
137 x 196cm
3rd Quarter, 19th Century
(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Remarkable for its incredible fineness of weave and bustling all-over design, this Ferahan is like a window allowing a privileged glimpse into a sacred garden. Nothing is static about this artwork - each motif in this verdant cascade is individually drawn, and every tilt and placement is slightly altered from the last. Groupings of ‘pinwheel’ style blossoms whirl and inspire burgeoning cabbage roses and garland-draped palmettes. A pattern of flowering sprigs down the center line and along the vertical edges of the field anchor the eye among the creative maelstrom of botanical activity, symbolizing the potential of life and its constantly rejuvenating cycle. Finding a Ferahan with an ivory ground in the field and borders is highly unusual and highlights the exceptional color work applied to the various motifs. Its immensely fine weave yields a wonderfully supple handle of incredibly soft yet resilient local wool enhanced by its heavier pile condition.
