This exquisite Tabriz handmade rug is a testament to the unparalleled artistry of traditional Persian craftsmanship.

Crafted in the spirit of traditional village nomad artistry, this rug exudes an earthy palette, with motifs that evoke a profound connection to nature and the nomadic lifestyle. Despite its roots in rustic aesthetic, this piece transcends boundaries, effortlessly adorning any environment with its intrinsic beauty. It stands as a work of art capable of injecting a dose of soul and character into the most opulent of spaces, often serving as a necessary counterbalance to the lavishness of luxurious furnishings.
The rug's main medallion and corner spandrels are adorned with a rich, deep red, complemented by accents of soft blue, rose, and ivory. These colors provide a grounding effect, framing the piece with a subtle elegance. Central to the rug's design is the floral motif at its very centre, symbolizing the tree of life—a core element in Persian mythology and culture. This motif represents the bridge between heaven and earth, embodying the essence of life itself. The design intricately incorporates branches extending in all directions, each adorned with flowers, mirroring the theme of natural abundance and interconnectedness.
Upon closer inspection, what may initially appear as simple vertical lines in the main field, reveal themselves as representations of the tree of life's trunks, branching out into twigs and flowers. This stylization underscores the motif's significance as a divine conduit, emphasizing life's deliberate creation rather than a mere accident. The images of tree of life extends throughout the rug, except in the guard borders, which historically served to protect the sacred center of the design. These borders feature parallel bands that mirror each other, encapsulating the rug's thematic essence with symmetry and harmony.
The guard borders, adorned in a rich earthy brown, resonate with the rug's overall palette, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic. Ideal for anchoring a hallway, large room or complementing natural elements like wooden flooring.
This rug is more than an item of decor—it is a piece imbued with profound historical and cultural significance, destined to bring joy for generations to come. Acquiring this rug means embracing a legacy of beauty, tradition, and cultural reverence.
