Refined Elegance – Handmade Persian Qum Silk Masterpiece
Introduce exquisite elegance to your home with this handmade vintage Persian Qum silk rug, woven in the 1980s. Qum (also spelled Qom or Ghom) rugs are among the most prestigious of Persian silk carpets, admired for their extraordinary detail, luminous sheen, and compact knotting that allows for complex pictorial and floral motifs. This rug is a small-scale work of art, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs.
Crafted entirely from fine natural silk, this piece shimmers beautifully under light and exemplifies the mastery of Qum weavers with its elaborate design and luxurious feel.
Intricate Floral Medallion Design on a Soft Field
The rug features a central floral medallion surrounded by a bouquet of delicate flowers, vines, and leaves, all precisely drawn with crisp definition. The pale beige or ivory-toned field acts as a soft backdrop, highlighting the intricate patterns in rich reds, blues, greens, and soft golds.
The border complements the central design with equally intricate floral repeats, framed in balanced symmetry. This piece demonstrates the kind of micro-level detailing only achievable through silk weaving.
A Collector’s Jewel – Ideal for Tabletop or Framing
Measuring approximately 1 foot 9 inches by 2 feet 9 inches (58 cm x 89 cm), this rug is ideal as a luxury tabletop mat, wall hanging, or framed decorative art. Its compact size and sophisticated elegance make it suitable for collectors or as a high-end accent in refined interiors.
