Ferdows Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Ferdows Persian rug at 10'0" x 5'5" showcases the timeless artistry of Khorasan province, where master weavers have perfected the sacred mihrab prayer rug tradition for centuries. The magnificent madder red field creates a dramatic foundation, beautifully complemented by intricate cream borders and striking accents of dark red, navy blue, black, brown, and ochre that speak to the sophisticated color palette of traditional Persian dyeing techniques.
The Ferdows weaving tradition from the historic Khorasan region represents one of Persia's most revered rug-making centers, where nomadic tribes and settled communities have created masterpieces for over 400 years. This particular mihrab design carries profound spiritual significance, with its prayer arch motif originally crafted to guide the faithful in their devotions, while the geometric medallion elements reflect the mathematical precision and artistic sophistication that define Persian carpet art.
At 40-60 years of age, this semi antique treasure displays the perfect balance of vintage character and structural integrity, with its asymmetrical Persian knots creating the fine detail work that brings each geometric pattern to life. The rich madder red ground provides a stunning backdrop for the intricate toranj medallion, while the cream borders frame the composition with elegant restraint, creating a visual harmony that has captivated collectors for generations.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that elevates any living space with its authentic Persian heritage and sophisticated color story. The 10'0" x 5'5" foot size makes it ideal for dining rooms, entryways, or as a stunning accent beneath a console table, where its prayer arch design creates a focal point that draws the eye upward while grounding the space with centuries of weaving tradition.
The natural wool construction ensures lasting beauty and comfort underfoot, while the cotton foundation provides structural stability that will preserve this heirloom's integrity for future generations. Each thread tells the story of skilled artisans who transformed simple materials into this geometric symphony, where ochre highlights dance alongside navy blue details, creating depth and movement that changes with the light throughout the day.
