About the Item

61383 Rare Antique Persian Tabriz Pictorial Prayer Rug, 06'03 x 09'07. Woven in the luminous tradition of Persian artistry, this hand-knotted wool distressed antique Tabriz pictorial rug is a transcendent textile masterpiece, where sacred geometry meets ethereal symbolism. This exquisite relic conjures a realm of meditative luxury and historical grandeur, its antique-washed patina softening time’s touch into a silken whisper. At its heart lies a gracefully articulated mihrab niche, evoking the architectural sanctity of prayer alcoves found in the world’s most revered mosques. This directional motif speaks not only to orientation toward Mecca, but also to a higher calling—toward legacy, refinement, and sacred beauty. Anchored within the niche is a majestic Tree of Life, the ancient Persian symbol of continuity, divine connection, and rebirth. Rising from an unseen source, its branches unfold like sacred poetry, bearing not only stylized leaves and blossoms but also a chorus of birds of paradise, each perched in exquisite stillness or caught mid-flight in celestial reverie. These birds, harbingers of joy and guardians of paradise, infuse the rug with a mythic vitality, making it a living expression of Persian metaphysical ideals. Woven with rare finesse, every element on this lightly weathered blue field echoes the gardens of Eden as envisioned in Persian poetry—lush, eternal, and utterly sublime. The exquisite border, a wreath of fluttering fauna and flourishing florals, serves not merely as frame but as sacred threshold. It mirrors the dynamism within the field, encircling the tableau with alternating vignettes of blooming life and avian grace. These signature motifs—rendered with an artisan’s precision and a poet’s eye—suggest protection and completeness, as though the entire rug were a woven sanctuary. The flanking meander guard bands serve as both visual cadence and ornamental restraint, underscoring the theme of a paradise both abundant and ordered. The border’s design whispers of storytelling and stewardship, beckoning the beholder into contemplative luxury. More than a rug, this is a rare and spiritually charged heirloom, a bespoke artifact for the discerning collector. It offers not just visual allure but a deeply symbolic narrative—an invitation to ground one’s space in peace, intention, and transcendent meaning. For those who collect not for mere decoration but for significance, this extraordinary work of art delivers an unparalleled experience: a one-of-a-kind intersection of faith, folklore, and fine craftsmanship. In a world that races forward, this is a piece that invites pause, reverence, and timeless elegance. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran.
