Materials and Craftsmanship
Crafted with premium kurk wool pile on a pure silk foundation, this rug represents a rare and luxurious combination treasured by collectors and connoisseurs of fine Persian craftsmanship. The dense knotting—reaching hundreds of thousands of knots per square meter—reflects the meticulous standards of Qom’s prestigious weaving tradition.
Each knot is a deliberate stroke, guided by the weaver’s mastery and inherited knowledge. The result is a textile masterpiece with a level of precision rivaling miniature painting.
The Tree of Life: Symbolism and Meaning
At the heart of the design stands the Tree of Life, an ancient and sacred motif in Persian art. It rises upward from a blooming garden, its branches spreading symmetrically symbolizing not only natural growth but also spiritual ascension and cosmic balance.
Rooted in ancient Zoroastrian, Islamic, and Sufi traditions, the Tree of Life has long represented:
- The connection between the material and divine realms (axis mundi)
- Eternal renewal and the cycle of life and death
- The journey of the soul toward enlightenment
The upward composition guides the eye—and the spirit—toward transcendence. Every leaf and blossom along its branches contribute to a narrative of harmony, hope, and higher purpose.
Design Details and Artistic Harmony
The tree rises from a garden lush with cypress, hyacinth, and iris—flowers imbued with deep symbolic meaning:
- Cypress: resilience and immortality
- Hyacinth: rebirth and mystic longing
- Iris: beauty and purity
Surrounding the main field, the floral border represents an eternal garden—paradise, as imagined in Persian and Islamic aesthetics. Each motif is perfectly balanced and symmetrically arranged, a tribute to both mathematical precision and spiritual vision.
Color Philosophy
The palette of this rug was selected with remarkable sensitivity, with each color chosen to evoke a sense of harmony and deeper meaning:
- Deep reds: conveying warmth, vitality, and the pulse of life
- Lapis blues: symbolizing wisdom, inner reflection, and spiritual depth
- Ivory and soft golds: representing purity, light, and divine presence
- Earthy greens: suggesting growth, renewal, and natural balance
As light moves across the silk foundation, these colors subtly shift and come alive mirroring the soul’s own journey through perception, transformation, and truth.
