Rare Antique Abadeh 35896

This rare Antique Abadeh rug, measuring 10' x 12'7", is a striking example of Persian village weaving distinguished by its highly decorative tree-of-life composition and rich, saturated palette. The field is organized beneath an arched mihrab-like form, filled with finely articulated flowering branches, stylized blossoms, and symbolic botanical motifs that create a dense yet harmonious visual rhythm.

Woven on a warm golden ivory ground, the intricate patterning is enlivened by deep indigo, madder red, soft rust, and subtle accents of sky blue and black. Each element is rendered with clarity and precision, reflecting the Abadeh weavers’ distinctive graphic sensibility—bold yet balanced, expressive without excess. The surrounding border, composed of repeating geometric florals and angular motifs, grounds the composition and provides a strong architectural frame.

The rug’s age is evident in its gentle patina and slight variations in tone, adding depth and authenticity while enhancing its visual character. Handwoven with traditional materials and techniques, this piece carries both decorative presence and cultural significance, making it especially appealing to collectors and designers alike.

With its generous proportions and dramatic, story-driven design, this Antique Abadeh is ideal as a focal point in a living room, library, or formal space where it can be appreciated as both a functional textile and a work of art. It pairs beautifully with layered, collected interiors, traditional settings, or spaces that benefit from a bold yet timeless Persian statement.
