Feraghan

Feraghan rugs and carpets are produced in the same area and even in the same workshops - in Ferahan County, Iran - they are two distinctively unique rug styles. However, the Ferahan has two distinct categories itself: the first generally known as Ferahan (or Feraghan) and the second Ferahan Sarouk (or Feraghan Sarouk) - some rugs combining traits of both subcategories, making an exact attribution difficult. The 19th century Feraghan carpets were a high-end, finely-woven carpet using the finest wools amd natural dyes - rugs renowned for their unique yet classically-elegant - and sometimes improvisational - curvelinear designs, and as much as any of the Persian carpets, succeeded in achieving a holistic, organic and non-mechanical appearance often also with animal depictions such in this example.
