Size(m): 2.65×1.65
This exquisite antique debris handmade rug, dating back to circa 1940, offers not just a slice of history but embodies a remarkable piece of artistry with profound historical significance. Crafted on the cusp of the Second World War, this rug, measuring 2.64 by 1.65 meters, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of creation amidst global turmoil.
Distinguished by its pictorial design, the rug features an asymmetrical pattern rich with depictions of trees, a motif deeply embedded in Persian culture. Unlike the typical representation of trees with roots, the trees on this rug appear to levitate, symbolizing not a terrestrial connection but a celestial bridge—a conduit from the Divine to Earth. This portrayal underscores the Tree of Life's significance, representing the genesis of life itself and emphasizing the rug's inherent mystique and allure.
The rug is vibrant with life, adorned with a myriad of flowers and a rich tapestry of birdlife, including the majestic peacock and peahen positioned near the central tree. The presence of lovebirds and courting avians further enriches the narrative, symbolizing love, regeneration, and the profound connection between Heaven and Earth.
Birds, often seen as messengers between the divine and the human realms, imbue the rug with a sense of spiritual dialogue and prayerful contemplation.
Set against a rustic red backdrop, the colors of the flora and fauna come alive, creating a stunning visual contrast that captivates and delights. The guard border encasing the rug features a harmonious repetition of vines and floral motifs, framing the masterpiece with exquisite detail.
Beyond its beauty, the rug serves as a historical document, connecting the present with a time of global uncertainty yet highlighting the perpetual promise of life and continuity. Its size, while grand, does not detract from its versatility; the rug's impeccable craftsmanship allows for it to be displayed as a wall hanging, transforming any space into a gallery of historical significance and unparalleled beauty.
This rug is not merely an item of decor but a centerpiece that invites conversation and contemplation, offering endless hours of visual pleasure.
Acquiring this rug means inheriting a piece of irreplaceable history, a work of art that not only brings immense satisfaction but is destined to become a cherished family heirloom. Embrace the opportunity to own this magnificent artifact, and let it enrich your home and legacy for generations to come.
