Welcome to The Persian Knot Gallery

Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and The Early 20th Century Fine Handwoven Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles From Around the World

$29,900.00

A rare and beautifully preserved vintage Indian Agra rug from the early 20th century, presented in a highly sought-after “gallery” or “corridor” size. This exquisite piece features an allover “Tree of Life” pattern—a historic design rooted in Persian and Mughal symbolism, where the cypress tree represents immortality and eternal life. This iconic motif is enriched with delicate floral bouquets and birds, drawing inspiration from 16th to 18th-century court carpets of the Mughal Empire.

Hand-knotted in fine, tightly woven wool, the rug displays a luminous cream to light yellow field adorned with accents in green, blue, pink, saffron yellow, and soft red. A wide saffron-colored primary border with flowing leaf and branch motifs completes the composition with graceful symmetry. This rug is an exceptional textile both in craftsmanship and rarity—it shares its identical design with SKU 1756, an extraordinary pairing rarely seen in vintage rugs. Perfect for long corridors or gallery spaces, this piece brings elegance, history, and refined artistry to any interior.
