About the Item

A masterpiece of Persian weaving, this antique Kashan prayer rug, crafted entirely from lustrous, fine-knotted 100% silk, is an item of exceptional beauty and religious significance. Dating from the early 20th century, this piece is characterized by its exceptionally high knot count, which gives the silk pile a breathtaking velvety sheen and allows for incredible detail. The design is centered around the venerated Mihrab (arch) form, designating it as a prayer rug. Within the sacred space of the arch, the Tree of Life motif ascends from a stylized vase, creating a densely articulated paradise garden filled with delicate flora and perched birds. The presence of the birds symbolizes the soul resting in the branches of the Tree, emphasizing the connection between earth and the divine. The exquisite silk foundation reflects light beautifully, subtly shifting the rich coral, ivory, and sage green hues depending on the viewing angle. In good antique condition, this rug's manageable size and unmatched refinement make it ideal for use as a luxurious wall hanging, a sophisticated accent piece, or a collector's prized possession.
