About this Tree of Life Rug
This antique Persian Tree of Life rug, measuring 3' 3" x 4' 9", showcases an intricate botanical motif symbolizing growth, immortality, and harmony. The pomegranate-toned field is filled with elegant flowering branches and delicate birds perched throughout, all rendered with remarkable precision thanks to the rug’s fine 240 KPSI knot density. The contrast between the lush red ground and the deep navy border creates a striking visual frame that highlights the central arboreal design. Woven with prized Manchester wool, this early 20th century piece carries both artistic and material distinction.
About Tree of Life Rugs
Tree of Life rugs are among the most evocative in Persian weaving, often symbolizing the connection between the earthly and the divine. Common in Kashan and other city workshops, these rugs feature stylized trees with branching flora and fauna, sometimes accompanied by animals or birds. They are highly regarded for their spiritual themes, intricate designs, and refined craftsmanship. Manchester wool—imported from England and prized for its softness and sheen—was occasionally used in high-end Persian rugs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Kashan workshops.
