Handmade Antique Persian Kashan Silk Rug 4.1' x 6.2' (125CM X 188CM), 1930s - 2B90 A Silk Masterpiece of Sacred DesignThis exquisite antique Kashan prayer rug represents the pinnacle of Persian textile artistry, crafted entirely from lustrous, fine-knotted silk during the early 20th century. Characterized by an exceptionally high knot count that creates a breathtaking velvety sheen, this piece transforms sacred symbolism into a work of unparalleled refinement and beauty. The Sacred Mihrab Arch FormThe design centers around the venerated Mihrab arch, traditionally indicating the direction of prayer. This architectural element creates a sacred space within the rug's boundaries, framing the spiritual journey and inviting contemplation through its elegant, balanced proportions and symbolic significance. The Tree of Life Paradise GardenWithin the arch, an elaborate Tree of Life motif ascends from a stylized vase, creating a densely articulated paradise garden filled with delicate flora and perched birds. These avian elements symbolize souls resting in the tree's branches, representing the connection between earthly existence and divine transcendence. Luminous Silk Color PaletteThe fine silk foundation reflects light beautifully, subtly shifting the rich coral, ivory, and sage green hues depending on viewing angle. This luminous quality gives the rug a living presence, with colors that appear to breathe and change throughout the day, enhancing its spiritual and aesthetic impact. Unmatched Refinement for Discerning SpacesIn good antique condition, this rug's manageable size and exceptional craftsmanship make it ideal as a luxurious wall hanging where its details can be fully appreciated, a sophisticated accent piece in a study or sitting room, or a collector's prized possession representing the highest achievement in traditional weaving.
