If you're drawn to rugs with age, character, and that relaxed, lived-in feel, this Ferahan has all of it. It's simply an old Persian rug that's been around for well over a century and is loaded with character and art that is crispy and detailed, due to a woman's hand and a fine weave.
The floral vines branch off in every direction, while the large medallion seems to stretch and unfold into the ivory field. The design is full of soft, curving floral lines that never seem to stop, giving you something new to notice every time you look at it.
It has a low wool pile from a long life well lived, along with a handful of old professional repairs that have simply become part of its story (please see photos for up close details and full character and condition). Filled with mellowed, naturally vegetable-dyed colors. Worn. Full of character.
