19th Century Persian Khorassan Rug in All Over “Tree of Life” Pattern in Crimson
About the Item
A rare and profoundly symbolic 19th century Persian Khorassan rug features an extraordinary allover “Tree of Life” pattern, rendered in a vibrant palette of crimson red, deep blue, and verdant green. Woven in the northeastern Persian province of Khorassan during the last quarter of the 1800s, this masterpiece exemplifies the artistry, symbolism, and exceptional craftsmanship for which Persian rugs are globally celebrated.
At the heart of the design lies the revered cypress tree motif, often referred to as the "Tree of Life" in Persian culture—a powerful emblem of eternity, spiritual growth, and resilience. These stylized trees form part of a larger, symmetrical Persian garden composition, evoking the paradisiacal landscapes that inspire traditional Persian art and architecture.
The rug’s richly saturated crimson red field serves as a stunning backdrop, while the abrash border—featuring shifting tones of dark blue and green—adds both depth and dimension to the piece. This unique color interplay enhances the rug’s visual energy and reflects the organic dyeing techniques and handwoven nuances prized by collectors.
Despite its age, the rug retains a thin yet well-preserved pile, and remains in good condition—a testament to the quality of its materials and the care with which it has been maintained over more than a century.

19th Century Persian Khorassan Rug in Open Field Floral Pattern in Crimson, Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
A grand and elegant statement piece, this 19th century Persian Khorassan rug showcases the timeless beauty of Persian textile artistry at its finest. Woven in the esteemed Khorassan region of northeastern Persia, this oversized masterpiece features a refined open field floral pattern, brought to life through the use of exceptionally fine lustrous wool and rich, naturally derived vegetable dyes.
The rug’s expansive red field has mellowed over time into a warm, inviting hue, beautifully complemented by an abrash palette of shifting blues and greens. These tonal variations—resulting from hand-dyeing with organic pigments—create a subtle depth and dynamic movement across the surface. The high-quality wool, noted for its lush, oily texture, has developed a soft, elegant patina over more than a century, enhancing the rug’s aged character and luxurious feel.
Delicate floral motifs in ivory, deep blue, and green float effortlessly across the open design, allowing the rich background to breathe while maintaining visual interest. The restrained yet regal composition offers a sense of timeless sophistication, making it an ideal centerpiece for large, formal interiors, grand salons, or stately libraries.
