Stunningly Beautiful Antique Persian Ferahan ca.1890 in Mint Condition with Certificate of Authenticity.  100%Natural, vegetable dye, hand woven, finest baby lamb's wool pile on cotton foundation. This fabulous and breathtaking piece combines a beautiful intricate floral Ferahan design on a soft beige background with a lovely navy color central medallion sitting like a jewel in the middle of the field with impressive tear drops. Please notice the artistic manner in which the crowned corners are connected to create a medallion out of the background field. Rugs of this beauty, caliber and artistic workmanship are simply nonexistent.  It is noteworthy that towards the end of the 19th century, carpet merchants in Tabriz in northern Persia began to enjoy strong demand for carpets from the west. To meet demand, by 1875 they had organized rug weaving workshops in and around the town of Arak, formerly known as Sultan-Abad in western Persia. By 1883 western companies had also established their own presence in the town of Ferahan in particular. ziegler and company was the first and the most important, producing rugs for many years to come with western tastes in mind. This charming Ferahan is a perfect example of rugs produced by Ziegler and company around the later part of 19th century in the town of Ferahan. This is a true museum quality piece in mint condition.
