Object Description
In near perfect condition, this antique Fereghan carpet has an amazing full height wool pile all over. We believe it has been hardly used throughout its life as the condition is truly exceptional, it probably resided in a large country house which was rarely used. The vibrant natural dyes are wonderful, with a natural ivory wool background showing the delightful lattice pattern with gentle blues, yellow, soft pinks and reds. The rich red border has again gorgeous green and pale blue dyes.
Fereghan carpets are generally one of two types, the first being a full field decoration of floral motifs based on Persian designs, most commonly with the geometric ‘Herati’ design. The second has a full medallion, usually with a contrasting colour, the edge of which is surrounded by a zig zag or jagged border. The dyes have mellowed beautifully due to the carpets age allowing it to be placed in a drawing room or dining room with ease.
