Farahan Sarouk / 10779

A Farahan Sarouk in 213 x 330 cm, this wool rug shows a rust ground threaded with moss green and aqua floral arabesques and a compact navy medallion. The all-over botanical field is framed by corner spandrels and a broad navy border punctuated with palmette roundels. Low distress gives a soft, mellow pile and gentle abrash across the field; edges show minor wear while the overall design remains crisp. The piece reads as an antique rug with considered proportion and a tactile, heritage-aware presence, its colours and patina retaining a quiet, lived-in grace. Circa 1885 - 1900
