Antique Feraghan carpet (386 x 202cm)

RESERVED (BF)

386 x 202 cm  //  12ft 8" x 6ft 8"

These distinguished carpets are typified by a corrosive effect of oxidisation to the green colour which presumably incorporated copper sulphates in the dye. The effect us seen in relief  most typically as seen here . The weaving quality or the workshops themselves did not survive into the 20th cent with the product homogenised into the greater Arak region. Made or surviving ( rarely in small sizes ) these carpets tend to be oversized and are to be found often surviving in the grand Victorian houses of Scotland.
