An elegant handwoven pure silk rug from Istanbul, Turkey, featuring an exceptionally detailed Tree of Life design with birds, flowering branches and scrolling botanical motifs.

The central field is dominated by a finely articulated flowering tree populated with numerous birds, arranged with strong symmetry and surrounded by an elaborate series of floral borders. The sophisticated palette combines olive and forest greens, ivory, burgundy, rust, pale blue and warm beige, producing a rich yet harmonious appearance.

The rug displays the fine detailing, closely worked pattern and lustrous surface associated with silk weaving. Decorative fringes remain visible at both ends. It is signed “Chenar Istanbul”, an important identifying feature that should be noted in any catalogue or sales listing.
