Farahan Rugs
Farahan rugs are a type of hand knotted rug that originates from the Farahan region of the Markazi Province in central Persia. These rugs are highly valued for their unique beauty, exceptional craftsmanship, and durability.
The weavers of Farahan rugs use high-quality wool or silk to create these exquisite pieces. The wool is often sourced from local sheep, which produce a soft and durable fiber that can withstand years of use. The weavers use natural dyes to create the rich and vibrant colors that are a hallmark of Farahan rugs.
The designs of Farahan rugs are highly varied, but they often feature intricate floral or geometric patterns that are inspired by the natural world. Some rugs feature a central medallion, while others have a more free-form design. The borders of Farahan rugs are often highly detailed, with repeating patterns that complement the central design.
One of the most distinctive features of Farahan rugs is their dense knotting technique. The weavers use a high knot density to create a thick and plush texture that is both comfortable and durable. The high knot density also allows for intricate detailing and sharp, crisp lines in the designs.
Farahan rugs are highly prized by collectors and interior designers around the world. They are known for their unique beauty and ability to add a touch of traditional elegance to any interior space. These rugs are also considered to be an important part of the cultural heritage of Persia.
