This distinguished late 19th century Persian Ferahan carpet showcases the refined aesthetic for which the Ferahan weaving tradition is celebrated. The field is expertly rendered in a deep indigo ground, densely filled with an intricate and beautifully articulated Herati pattern that radiates around a subtly pronounced central medallion. The high knot density and crisp drawing reveal the work of a highly skilled workshop.
Framing the richly patterned field is an outstanding green main border, a color prized in Ferahan weaving and used here to striking effect. The border is adorned with a continuous floral and vine-scroll motif that harmonizes elegantly with the complexity of the field, creating a balanced yet visually dynamic composition.
This carpet exemplifies the sophistication, precision, and decorative versatility characteristic of the best Ferahan pieces from the late 19th century—making it a superb choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its palette, craftsmanship, and classical design vocabulary contribute to its status as a highly collectible and enduring textile.
