Absolutely breathtaking ca.1890 antique Persian Ferahan rug in mint condition. 100%natural, vegetable dye, hand woven, finest baby lamb's wool pile on cotton foundation. this fabulous and breathtaking piece combines a beautiful intricate floral Ferahan design on a soft beige background with a spectacular navy color central medallion sitting like a jewel in the middle of the field with impressive tear drop, topped off with gorgeous crowned corners of contrasting navy blue and ultimately framed by an exquisite Ferahan design (combination of floral and geometric) on a warm shade of rust border. Please notice the artistic manner in which the crowned corners are connected to create a medallion out of the background field, giving the impression of multitude of medallions. Rugs of this beauty, caliber and artistic workmanship are simply nonexistent. Moreover it is noteworthy that towards the end of the 19th century, carpet merchants in Tabriz in northern Persia began to enjoy strong demand for carpets from the west. to meet demand, by 1875 they had organized rug weaving workshops in and around the town of arak, formerly known as sultan-Abad in north western Persia. By 1883 western companies had also established their own presence in the town of Ferahan in particular. Ziegler and company were the first and the most important, producing rugs for many years to come with western tastes in mind. This charming Ferahan is a perfect example of rugs produced by Ziegler and company around the later part of 19th century in the town of Ferahan. This is a true museum quality piece in mint condition. Size: 9 feet 1 inch X 6 feet 8 inches. Country of Origin: Iran.
