Antique Sarouk – Farahan Small Scatter Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This superb example of early 20th-century Persian weaving is characteristic of the Sarouk tradition, specifically the refined pieces identified as farahan.

The overall design features classic Persian aesthetics, incorporating delicate vine work and stylized palmettes, typical of high-quality floral rugs. Its practical dimensions classify it as a small scatter size, making it an ideal accent piece for entryways or small sitting areas.

Woven entirely in high-quality wool with a sturdy handle, this piece exhibits the exceptional knot density expected from the region. Its remarkable condition, considering its age, ensures it remains a highly desirable addition to any collection of fine antique rugs. See less
