On the Design

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this as a rare and regal piece, exemplary of silk Qum rugs and tapestries for both its quality and its range of colors. A rich mocha brown field underscores floral patterns and a large-scale central medallion—both enjoying bright red and blue hues, and gold accents matching those of the outer border.

The silk’s gentle sheen, too, lends such an air of elegance in any lighting—another of the countless beauties that speak to this rug as a rare, collectible work among the best of its caliber. The attention to detail in scale, texture and movement of color is matched only by its equally rare condition. This is an exemplary traditional piece, with more of a vibrance than many found in the modern day.

This antique Qum rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—ready for the floor and equally suitable as a tapestry for wall-hanging projects. Designers and collectors may note a mild color run in the field. Sold as is. See less
