Antique Cheshme/ Farahan Rug 192x127cm

This gorgeous antique Cheshme rug hails from the Farahan region of central Iran, an area renowned for producing elegant, finely woven carpets with enduring artistic appeal. Woven with a refined Herati pattern, this piece reflects both the precision and charm associated with Farahan rugs.

The field is rendered in a lovely soft blue, offering a soothing contrast to the rose-toned geometric border, which adds warmth and structure. Subtle colour changes within the border—a natural result of hand-dyeing and small-batch wool—create a beautiful sense of movement and uniqueness. This variation, often referred to as abrash, is one of the most cherished qualities in antique village rugs.

The rug has an even low pile, adding to its antique character while ensuring it’s easy to live with in contemporary interiors. There is a minor repair to the fringe, done with care and consistent with the rug’s age.

Whether used in a sitting room, study, or entryway, this Cheshme rug brings together classic Persian design, gentle colour harmony, and a genuine sense of heritage.
