Antique Persian Farahan rug from my private collection. It's a "kalleghi", that is a size of carpet that is placed in Persian houses at the head of the hall, almost as a headboard. It's usually an important rug and often the name of the client and the date of execution are included. This one has a dense "rize mahi" design on the entire field and a series of 7 borders to testify to the importance of the rug. It has many light blue details, a precious and elegant color. The black background highlights all the other colors and the dense design, but it was obtained with iron oxide, which has corroded the wool: if you look closely, it seems that all the other designs are raised. It measures cm. 400 x 200. Special price for business closure.
