FERAHAN SAROUK
West Central Persian Antique Carpet

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") With immensely appealing, naturally derived colors and an expressive array of eye-catching floral designs, this finely knotted rug expresses the unique artistry for which the Ferahan and Ferahan Sarouk styles are famed. When a medallion is present in this perennially beloved rug type, its shape is always highly individualistic, and this one takes that concept to the next level. This stellar centerpiece exhibits the beauty and majesty reminiscent of an eons-old supernova making its first appearance to earthly observers. A bevy of exotic polychrome floral forms burst forth across the rich vermilion red reserve. The main border is an ornate frame, with its steady flowerheads and relative density of the robust melange of botanical motifs as a pleasing dichotomy to the overscale forms and more spacious field design. Its pile would have been initially clipped relatively short by the weavers, so its even medium height makes for a fortuitous find, especially for a rug of this size.
