The finely woven antique Ferahan carpets of the 19th century were designed for the Persian aristocracy, who valued them for their exceptional craftsmanship, elegance, and spirited artistry. Investment-level Ferahan rugs were not produced after the 1910s and the finer 19th- and turn-of-the-20th-century examples have become quite rare. The best antique Ferahan rugs woven 90-175 years ago are considered to be among the most original and artistic antique room size carpets ever woven in Persia. Their high-grade wool, spirited uncompromising workmanship, sublime color palettes and durable construction have made them the parlor rug of choice of European and East Coast families since the middle of the 19th century. Today, the best Ferahan Persian carpets have become a favorite of connoisseurs and established interior designers, not merely for their great decorative appeal, but because they have long exhibited a consistently escalating market value. Now the one that I am offering here is an early one, the older Ferahan are called only Ferahan but the one that were made first decade of 20th century is called Ferahan Sarouk. The Ferahan Sarouks are a little bit thicker than Ferahan. A gold ground Ferahan is very rare , just refer to the pictures and view the balance of color combination, absolutely second to none and very attractive and of course, collectible. It measures 4'-8" x 6'-4" and is in fabulous condition, both ends are secured and small minor guard border at the ends gone due to securing and making even the both ends, but is not a big issue for a very early and healthy gold ground Ferahan such as this one.
