這條獨(dú)具風(fēng)韻的法拉汗古毯全部由真絲編織而成，技藝極為精湛，每平方米的編結(jié)數(shù)量達(dá)100萬(wàn)個(gè)，全毯的結(jié)點(diǎn)數(shù)約為297萬(wàn)個(gè)。由于采用了純植物性染色，隨著歲月的沉淀，整張絲毯散發(fā)著柔和沉靜的光澤，淡紫色、藍(lán)色、玫瑰紅、洋紅色以及從真絲底部透射出來(lái)的豐富的次色調(diào)，顯得愈發(fā)迷人。這條絲毯可以稱得上是薩非王朝（1501-1736）以來(lái)波斯古董毯中的上乘之作。
這條珍貴的法拉汗絲毯與波斯絲毯中最頂級(jí)的喀?！澳苯z毯風(fēng)格相近。有一派學(xué)者認(rèn)為，紡織大師默罕默德?哈桑?莫塔森（Hajji Mullah Muhammad Hassan Mohtaschem）就居住在法拉汗地區(qū)，并在這里創(chuàng)作了他一生中的數(shù)件頂級(jí)作品——而這條絲毯無(wú)疑是莫塔森的杰作之一。目前，有著莫塔森署名的地毯在世界上僅存兩條，古董毯權(quán)威雜志《Hali》曾在第36期第7頁(yè)中印有其中一條喀桑絲毯的圖片，無(wú)論從圖案設(shè)計(jì)還是全局構(gòu)圖而言，都與我們眼前的這條毯子非常相似。而我們將這條絲毯的產(chǎn)地歸為法拉汗而不是喀桑，是基于其獨(dú)特的圖形結(jié)構(gòu)、優(yōu)質(zhì)的絲線和明顯的年代特征，尤其是法拉汗地毯一以貫之的極其精細(xì)微妙的色彩調(diào)和。主面板中柔和的菱形圖案和簡(jiǎn)約的裝飾就體現(xiàn)了這一派的顯著特征?？梢哉f(shuō)，上述所有特色都可以在這條優(yōu)雅精美的地毯中找到，極具收藏、投資價(jià)值。
This important and delicately beautiful silk Farahan item is stylistically closely related to the so-called 'Mohtaschem' Silk Kashans, and there is one school of thought which maintains that the master-weaver Hajji Mullah Muhammad Hassan Mohtaschem was a native of the Farahan region, and created some of his finest works in the Farahan tradition - this rug would undoubtedly be included among his Farahan masterpieces by proponents of this theory. In fact, of the only two rugs recorded which are actually signed by Mohtaschem, the silk Kashan illustrated in Hali, Issue 36, page 7, is distinctly similar to the present item in design and overall stylistic approach. The attribution to Farahan, rather than Kashan, of our rug and others of this rare group is based on the extremely fine and distinctive structure, the wonderful quality of the silk used, the obvious age apparent in such examples and, especially, the distinctive and ultra-refined palette they invariably employ. A slight angularity in the draughtsmanship and the wonderful economy of ornament is also a distinguishing feature of the group. All these elements are definitively displayed in this graceful medallion rug, with its shimmering pastel tonality, its enchanting palette of lilacs, blues, rose and magenta, and its wealth of related secondary colours which are almost hidden beneath the sumptuous lustre of the silk. A silk Farahan of superb accomplishment, among the most beautiful and oldest silk Persian rugs knotted since the Safavid era we have encountered.
