Rustic perfection from Central Iran

Farahan rugs come from villages near Arak and are known for their calm, sometimes minimalist patterns. They combine floral and geometric elements, often with medallions and tendrils. The wool used is of high quality and provides a soft pile. Colours such as deep red, blue and earth tones give Farahan rugs a warm look.
