120-Year-Old Persian Kashan Tree of Life Carpet

Our 120-year-old Persian Kashan Tree of Life carpet (size: 4.4 x 6.3 FT )

At AbeeRugs, we have always believed that every handmade carpet is more than just a floor covering. It is a living story woven with history, culture, and the timeless art of craftsmanship.
Today, we’re honored to share the story of one of the most special pieces in our collection: a 120-year-old Persian Kashan Tree of Life carpet, measuring 4.4 x 6.3 FT.

 A Journey Back to the Qajar Era

Early 20th-century loom in Kashan — traditional upright weaving on display.

Woven around 1900, during the final decades of Iran’s Qajar dynasty, this carpet carries the refined elegance and intricate detail that defined the golden age of Persian carpet weaving.
Created in Kashan, one of Iran’s oldest and most renowned weaving centers, this piece stands as a testament to the skill of master weavers whose artistry transformed wool and natural dyes into a timeless masterpiece.

 The Tree of Life: A Symbol of Eternity

Nomadic weaver knotting patterns by hand — precision and patience in every knot.

At the heart of this carpet is the Tree of Life motif, an ancient Persian symbol representing immortality, spiritual growth, and the connection between heaven and earth.
Growing gracefully from a beautifully decorated vase, the tree’s branches spread across the field, adorned with blooming flowers and delicate birds.

Each element tells a story:

  • Flowers: Eternal rebirth and the beauty of nature.

  • Birds: Messengers of peace and symbols of freedom.

  • Vase: The source of life, nourishing the sacred tree.

The deep navy border, filled with palmettes and rosettes, frames this living artwork, adding a majestic contrast to the warm ivory and subtle pastel tones of the field.

120 Years of Timeless Beauty

What makes this carpet truly special is not just its design, but its age and remarkable preservation.
Hand-knotted over a century ago, it has kept its vibrant colors and intricate details thanks to the skill of Kashan’s weavers and the use of natural dyes.
Soft wool, high knot density, and the harmony of color and pattern give it an elegance that transcends time, making it equally captivating in a traditional setting or a modern interior.

A Glimpse into Persian Grandeur


In old Persia, fine carpets were prized by royalty — symbols of taste, power, and heritage.

Historically, carpets like this were more than decoration; they were symbols of status and cultural pride.
In royal courts and grand homes, they reflected the owner’s appreciation for beauty and craftsmanship.
The Tree of Life motif, in particular, was cherished for its spiritual meaning and its promise of prosperity and continuity.
