About the Item

This Antique Dabir Sanaye Kashan Tree of Life Rug (4'3" x 6'7") is a remarkable example of late 19th-century Persian artistry, dating to circa 1880. Handwoven in the renowned Dabir Sanaye workshop of Kashan, a region celebrated for producing some of the world’s finest rugs, it features the iconic Tree of Life motif, symbolizing prosperity, growth, and spiritual renewal. Every leaf, flower, and branch is intricately rendered, demonstrating the masterful knotting and precision that define Kashan craftsmanship. The rug’s rich color palette—vibrant reds, golds, and deep blues—highlights the natural dyes typical of the period, while delicate borders frame the central motif in perfect harmony. Ideal for a traditional or classic interior, this rug functions as both a functional floor covering and a collectible work of art, offering historical depth, decorative impact, and cultural significance. Its rarity and exceptional quality make it a must-have for serious collectors seeking Persian masterpieces.
