Description

A rare and profoundly symbolic 19th century Persian Khorassan rug features an extraordinary allover “Tree of Life” pattern, rendered in a vibrant palette of crimson red, deep blue, and verdant green. Woven in the northeastern Persian province of Khorassan during the last quarter of the 1800s, this masterpiece exemplifies the artistry, symbolism, and exceptional craftsmanship for which Persian rugs are globally celebrated.

At the heart of the design lies the revered cypress tree motif, often referred to as the "Tree of Life" in Persian culture—a powerful emblem of eternity, spiritual growth, and resilience. These stylized trees form part of a larger, symmetrical Persian garden composition, evoking the paradisiacal landscapes that inspire traditional Persian art and architecture.

The rug’s richly saturated crimson red field serves as a stunning backdrop, while the abrash border—featuring shifting tones of dark blue and green—adds both depth and dimension to the piece.
