The Farahan district is located in central Iran, south of Tehran and near the cities of Arak, Kashan and Qum and was home to the original Farahan rugs.

Rugs from Farahan are made on a cotton foundation with soft, thin wool knotted in an asymmetrical fashion. Rugs from this district can vary in style but in general are excellent in quality with beautiful natural dyes and are exceptionally durable. The older, more unique rugs from this district are extremely valuable, the best fetching around £300 per square foot at auction!

These days Afghan Faraghan Sarouk rugs provide some of the most splendid rugs out of Afghanistan with their soft, natural colours and hand-spun wool in floral and fine designs.
