An outstanding Ferahan Saruk rug, north west Persia about 1900, 4'10x6'11. This exceptional rug is almost identical to the well-known example illustrated by P.R. Ford, The Oriental Carpet, no.603. Our rug has the more pleasing feature of a cream-ground central medallion as opposed to the dark blue of the published rug.
