Since the mid 18th century, Persian Farahan rugs are woven in the village of Sarouk but these carpets given the name “Farahan” as a distinction for their exceptional type of Sarouks. They have an asymmetrical knot on a cotton ground. The weave is extremely fine and the many patterns combine both tribal and more traditional designs.
These high-quality rugs can be divided into two main types. The first type is characterized by an all-over or endless-repeat pattern with motives such as the herati or boteh (paisley) design. Herati, being the most popular motives, has many variations and the boteh motives are usually woven inside hexagon-shaped panels.
The second type is characterized by its medallion layout and has a classical Persian design, so-called Sarouk-Farahans. The medallions can be a large hexagon, diamond, or oval shapes with large ornaments. Two common motives used in the field of these rugs are the herati and gul hannai design.
