mīān farsh

The term "mīān farsh" refers to a large, central carpet used in traditional Persian arrangements of floor coverings. Typically measuring around 18 by 8 feet (5.5 by 2.5 meters), it is placed in the middle of a room, flanked by two smaller runner carpets called "kanārehs". This arrangement often includes a principal rug, the "kellegi," at one end, creating a layered display. Carpets, originating from Central and Western Asia, have historically served both practical and aesthetic purposes, adorning floors in homes, palaces, and mosques. Persian carpets, like the Ferahan carpet, are known for their intricate designs, such as the "herāti" or "henna flower" patterns, and sturdy construction.123
