This particular piece, with its vegetable-dyed threads, is not only a visual delight but also a testament to the enduring quality of its craftsmanship.
Rest assured, this antique Feraghan Sarouk carpet is not just a decorative accent; it is a living testament to a bygone era, a piece of art that encapsulates the elegance and craftsmanship of Persian rug weaving.
