78724 Antique Persian Farahan Pictorial Rug, 04'03 x 06'05.

A Farahan tableau rug refers to a type of Persian pictorial rug originating from the region of Farahan, which is situated in the central part of Iran. The Farahan rugs are renowned for their high-quality craftsmanship and feature a detailed scene or tableau rather than the more traditional geometric or floral patterns. These rugs are unique because they depict specific scenes, often telling a story or portraying elements of Persian culture and history.

Inspired by the timeless spirit of Nur Ali Shah, this exquisite antique Persian Farahan rug unfolds a mesmerizing tale within its woven fibers. A mirrored pictorial enchantment unfolds, revealing a scene of a shirtless man beneath the sheltering branches of a willow tree, cradling a deer amidst a gathering of diverse creatures, vases, and majestic cypress trees. A grand cloisonné, ablaze with blooms, emanates from the heart of this woven wonder, flanked by dervishes in devoted service to their Sultan, creating a panorama that transcends the ordinary.

In each corner, botanical florals, luxuriant foliage, and the regal presence of a peacock weave their tales. In the rich culture of Persian symbolism, the peacock stands as a guardian of immortality, beauty, and a shield against malevolent spirits. Every minute detail is meticulously outlined, painted in hues that dance in delightful contrast, while the nuanced shades create an enchanting visual symphony. This extraordinary antique Persian tableau carpet stands as a testament to the profound dedication and cultural finesse required to birth such a meticulously composed masterpiece. It beckons, inviting one to step into a world where art and narrative entwine in a dance that transcends time.
