Description of Design and History :
The Farahan area belongs truly neither to Western nor to Central Persia. Some carpet specialists label the area between Qum, Kashan and Sultanabad. Nevertheless, whatever the names employed, these weaving centres have only one thing in common, they are generally of very high quality. In other respects they are dissimilar in structure, design and type of wool. This can be illustrated by considering two specific representative of their groups: Farahan and Saruk rugs, both of which stem from this triangle, belong to the highest quality of Persian carpets, yet possess very different features. The Farahan carpet is very finely woven from hard wool is clipped very flat, and its restrained style of decoration is almost Gothic in character. The Saruk, on the other hand is fine, is made from very much softer wools and is more densely woven. Projecting and exuberant lust for life. By promoting the Farahan region in the early 18th century, Nadir Shah exerted an influence on its weaving products and on the export of these carpets which were prized even at this very early date. This excellant item called Saouk farahan with almond design.
