A type of hand-woven Persian carpet or rug, often featuring intricate patterns and high-quality wool, traditionally made in Ferahan, a region in Iran.
Named after Ferahan (also spelled Farahan), a town and region in northwestern Iran known for carpet production. Place names often become product names when that region is famous for making something.
Ferahan rugs became so famous that European merchants started using the place name as a brand—kind of like how we call tissues Kleenex, wealthy Victorians bought 'Ferahans' for their parlors.
