A very fine and unusual antique Persian Feraghan Sarouk featuring an elegant Tree of Life design rising from a flowering garden mound against a luminous ivory field. At the center stands a magnificent cypress-like flowering tree populated with birds and floral ornament, flanked below by a pair of peacocks rendered in rich shades of sapphire blue, rose, ivory, and soft green.
The spacious ivory field creates a striking contrast with the intricately drawn midnight-blue border, which is filled with scrolling vinery, palmettes, rosettes, and flowering arabesques. The drawing is exceptionally refined, displaying the precision and artistic sophistication associated with the finest Feraghan weaving traditions of the late nineteenth century.
The color palette is particularly beautiful, combining soft ivory, indigo blue, rose-red, celadon green, salmon, and muted gold tones. The wool possesses a silky handle and luminous patina developed over more than a century of age.
Symbolism
The design is rich in Persian symbolism:
Tree of Life representing immortality and spiritual growth.
Peacocks symbolizing beauty, paradise, and eternal life.
Birds within the tree representing harmony and divine creation.
Flowering garden base evoking the Persian concept of paradise gardens.
