Feraghan Rug Allover Herati design Wool Pile Antique

 

Huge numbers of  Persian Feraghan carpets in varying technical qualities and sizes were imported into western markets between around 1870 and 1930 by the more exclusive retailers, and are frequently still seen gracing the floors of English country houses. They are notoriously hard wearing . The field design as seen here, described as the ‘Herati’ pattern is a popular pattern woven by Feraghan weavers. The ‘Herati’ design could appropriately be defined  as an all over repeat pattern formed by a number of individual floral elements combined together and then repeated. It is normally made up of a flower head framed by a rhombus linked to a set of four leaves, and then repeated to form an all over design. The origins of the ‘herati’ pattern date back to the late 16th and early 17th century, and is seen in Safavid Persian Court carpets of that time. The design can be seen in varying scales. The early versions tend to display bold open renditions of the pattern details, whereas this example is based on the popular style as seen in the ‘revivalist’ period of Persian woven art dating from the late 19th century onwards.
