A Rare Find: The Story of an Antique Farahan Rug That Deserves a Place in Your Home

Some rugs don’t just sit quietly on the floor—they speak. They tell stories. They carry with them decades of life, craft, and culture. And every so often, we come across a piece so special, we can’t help but share its story.

This is one of those moments.

At Elegance Rug Decor, we’re thrilled to present a truly rare treasure: an antique Farahan rug, dating back 80 to 90 years, and measuring an incredible 11' x 17'. That size alone makes it a gem—far larger than most antique Persian rugs you'll ever find.

Woven in the Heart of Persia

This rug was hand-knotted in Farahan, a region in central Iran renowned for producing some of the most sophisticated and enduring rugs in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Farahan rugs were highly sought after in Europe and the U.S., admired for their balanced designs, subtle elegance, and exceptional durability.

Beauty in Every Detail

The artistry of this piece speaks for itself:

• A striking navy medallion anchors the rug's center, surrounded by a field of deep, warm red

• Delicate floral and Herati motifs are scattered throughout, each carefully knotted by hand

• Framed with classic Farahan borders, and naturally aged into soft, earthy tones over nearly a century

The texture, color palette, and design harmony make it not just a floor covering—but a living work of art.

• Spacious living rooms or dining areas

• High-ceilinged heritage homes

• Gallery-style interiors

• Or, quite simply, a serious collector’s dream
