Handmade antique Persian Kashan rug 136cm x 201cm, 1910s

Step back in time with this exquisite antique Kashan rug, hand-knotted in the Middle East during the 1910s. This stunning piece is a magnificent example of classic urban weaving, featuring the deeply symbolic and highly coveted Tree of Life design. The central field showcases a beautiful, ornate vase holding the Tree of Life, flourishing with a complex array of stylized flowers and vines, symbolizing growth and eternal beauty. The design is set against a luxurious, deep brick-red background, a hallmark of the finest Kashan pieces, with elegant accents of navy blue, soft pink, deep gold, and light blue. The main border features dense floral cartouches on a deep navy blue ground, enhancing the rug's formal and luxurious appearance. Hand-knotted from premium wool, the rug offers a smooth, finely textured pile and is in good antique condition, retaining the soft patina of a true early 20th-century textile.
