Corner spandrel overlays reciprocate the contour of the main medallion in vivid abrashed shades of blue. A very finely woven example with soft kork wool. Although identified as a Farahan Sarouk, there are characteristics of this which appear closely aligned to Mohtashem Kashan carpets. Colors and shades include: Antique ivory, charcoal navy blue, sapphire blue, chestnut brown, terracotta, pale dusty rose, sky blue, beige, sand, jade green, and more. Condition notes: Mostly even wear across to knot heads with hard isolated areas of foundation showing through. Most of the original side cord selvages are intact or restored. Tatter to ends. Older restoration to side cord selvages, loss to either end with partial securing. Some minor areas of darning in various degrees of expertise. Recently professionally cleaned ready for in-home use! Many years of enjoyment to come with this hand knotted Persian Farahan Sarouk rug made in Persia circa 1910's vintage. less
