F E RAG HAN 
The long narrow plain of Feraghan, lying 
within the shadow of Mount Elwend, towering 
twelve thousand feet above the sea, has been the 
land of Kings since the ancient days of the 
Medes and Persians. 
Its small villages, rich in historical traditions and 
surrounded by a country of rugged beauty, pro¬ 
duced a type of rug highly esteemed and of 
peculiar individuality of design. The Herati and 
Guli-Hennai designs are the two best known 
and represent in their composition an exceed¬ 
ingly clever arrangement of conventionalized 
flowers. 
The rugs of Feraghan serve as ideal floor 
coverings in well appointed halls and living 
rooms of today. 
In our collection will be found many antique 
pieces of unusual interest in excellent condition. 
AN UNUSUAL ARRANGEMENT OF 
CONVENTIONALIZED FLOWERS 
FOUND IN A SUPERB EXAMPLE 
OF FERAGHAN WEAVE NOW IN 
OUR COLLECTION.
