Antique Farahan Sarouk Square Bag Face Rug Mat, showing floral palmette and large planters design with a dark navy blue and multi-color palette

Quiet splendor underfoot

A diminutive Farahan Sarouk square, rich with palmettes and planters, holding deep navy, antique ivory, oxidized copper green, pale gold, blush, and terra cotta in a calm, time-softened register.

Small piece, large presence

A square of history for intimate spaces

Antique, not antique-looking

Rooms often need a touch that anchors without overwhelming. The RESERVED 1.5x2 Antique Farahan Sarouk Square Bag Face Rug Mat does that with an open field and book-cover spandrels that read as art as much as floor. Even, low pile invites everyday use while the palette—madder reds, powder and sky blues, copper greens—whispers rather than shouts. Recently professionally cleaned, it arrives ready to place and live with.

Color that breathes

At just 1'8" x 1'9", this 1890s Persian square slips beside a chair, at a bedside, or layered on a tabletop—where people pause and reach. The floral palmettes and planters create a focal point that draws the eye and softens hard edges. Light knot heads and intact selvages speak to honest age, the kind that adds warmth rather than worry.

For the collector who lives with what they love

Someone seeking a small, authentic Persian Farahan Sarouk with nuanced color and gentle wear that complements daily life.

Place, pause, admire

Set it by a reading chair or bedside to add a grounded moment of color and pattern in a compact footprint.
