About the Item

A rare and distinguished early 20th-century Indian Agra room size rug featuring an allover “Tree of Life” pattern, inspired by the classical motifs of the Mughal court and deeply rooted in Persian symbolism. The design beautifully integrates cypress trees, flowering plants, and birds—elements traditionally associated with paradise gardens and the eternal cycle of life. The cypress tree, revered as a symbol of immortality in ancient Persia, takes center stage in this highly detailed and harmonious composition. Hand-knotted from finely spun, lush wool, the rug boasts a soft cream-to-light yellow field that highlights a rich palette of green, blue, pink, saffron yellow, and red. A striking saffron border with intricately rendered vines and leaves frames the design with elegance and balance. This piece is made all the more remarkable by sharing its exact design with SKU 1694—an exceedingly rare occurrence in antique and vintage rug production. This unique find offers timeless beauty and is ideal for use in thoughtfully curated interiors.
