("New Arrivals Gallery") Ferahan rugs are renowned for their painstaking intricacy. In this impressive room-size carpet, an extraordinary mille fleur repeating design is influenced by a dexterously nuanced technique of expansion and compression that subtly makes the pattern appear to sway gently before one’s eyes. A blanket of botanical ornamentation inundates the navy blue field, showcasing the pinpoint detailing skills of the weavers. Spontaneous variations of hue and shape bring to life this floral tapestry of bounteous blossoms guided by a filigree lattice. Its vivid colors are carefully rendered for depth and harmony, inviting the viewer to become even more transfixed with admiration and fascination. In a highly successful contrast, giant fan palmettes tumble along the border along graceful arabesque vinery interrupted on occasion by bouquet-filled vases. Perfect for accommodating a furniture suite or standing alone in an open space, this Persian town carpet's heavier pile make it perfect for even a very frequently trafficked space.
