Q435 - Antique Persian Feraghan Rug
7ft 09in X 11ft 03in
Circa: 1900
Fereghan in west Persia came to prominence in the 18th century under the rule of Shah Nadir who exerted an influence on its weaving and production. The carpets from this area were prized even at this time. The patterns derive from the weavers of Herat who settled here in the early 19th century adding colour and harmony.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
