The Last Supper, Handmade Persian Tabriz Last Supper Rug

This remarkable Persian Tabriz Last Supper rug is far more than a textile — it is a work of devotional and cultural art, woven with deep reverence and remarkable skill. Handmade from a refined blend of wool and silk and signed by the respected weaver Ansari, this rug was woven in Tabriz, Iran, before the Islamic Revolution, reflecting an era of remarkable pictorial weaving that remains a living and evolving art in Persian craftsmanship. Its craftsmanship reflects traditional Tabriz weaving techniques passed down through generations, in which precision, shading, and detail are achieved knot by knot, entirely by hand.

The artwork depicts Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic Last Supper composition, capturing each figure with emotional clarity and stunning color depth. The use of silk highlights creates a beautiful reflective quality, allowing elements of the rug to shimmer subtly in light, enhancing shadows, garment folds, and facial expressions. The wool provides warmth, softness, and durability, while the cotton foundation ensures structural strength.

Measuring 7.6 × 4.5 ft, this rug is ideally suited for horizontal display in a living room, library, church hall, chapel, office, or gallery. Its presence commands attention and creates a contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers to step closer and appreciate the intricacy of its weaving. As a wall hanging, it becomes both a statement of faith and a testament to mastery of Persian textile artistry.

For collectors, this rug represents a rare intersection of religious iconography, fine weaving, and pre-Revolution Iranian craftsmanship — making it a coveted piece of cultural history. For decorators and art lovers, it brings a sense of warmth, elegance, and narrative to a space. And for those seeking a meaningful and enduring gift, especially for a devotional setting, this piece carries a spiritual weight that few artworks offer.

Owning this rug means preserving a piece of tradition and history — from the city of Tabriz, the heart of Persian weaving excellence, to its new place as a cherished work of art in your home or institution. This is a piece that will be admired not only today but for generations to come.
