Farahan Sarouk / 11891

A Farahan Sarouk woven in wool, the central medallion poised on a cream, neutral ground. At 206 x 297 cm the scale allows an intricate floral and palmette field to breathe within layered red borders; the drawing is precise and the colour restrained. Wear is low, the pile relaxed and showing subtle abrash in places, with edges retaining modest character. This antique rug conveys an evident hand and steady proportion, where soft surface texture and composed motifs create a quietly tactile object with heritage presence. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
