Ferrahan rug (cotton warp and weft, wool pile), central Pers - Lot 428
Ferrahan rug (cotton warp and weft, wool pile), central Persia, circa 1900. (Slight wear and fraying.) Length: 485 cm; Width: 360 cm. This large carpet is embellished with numerous polychrome floral medallions on a red background. The whole is embellished with four ivory spandrels. A wide navy blue border with flower garlands is framed by numerous counter-borders. North of Sultanabad lies the densely populated Farahan region, with its many villages whose main resource is carpet weaving. Carpets are prized for their sobriety and elegance of design, most often composed of simple decorative elements. The vintage velvet of Ferrahan and Farahan carpets is often corroded due to the use of a copper-based green dye. The decoration, which derives from Persian tradition, is made up of tiny motifs that are repeated in full field. The most frequent motif is the herati. Alongside the herati, motifs such as boteh, mina-khani, gol farangh and mustefi are frequently reproduced. Many carpets also feature medallion designs. They reflect the decorative sobriety of the region's carpets, and the medallion composition is treated in a balanced manner. The field is usually decorated only at the spandrels or along the edges to highlight the medallions, executed with intricate floral motifs and often surrounded by a jagged outline. Sometimes, the field is elaborately decorated with herati motifs or rows of boteh. A series of medallions, barely sketched out and cut by the border, appear on some models, above and below the central medallion, giving the impression that the weaver wanted to represent a single medallion completely. The borders, particularly the central one, take on importance through their size and the refined decoration of the motifs.
