This 4'5 x 6'7 Signed Persian Qum Rug is a finely hand-knotted masterpiece woven entirely from pure silk. Created in Qum, Iran, the rug showcases exceptional precision, luminous sheen, and an intricate floral medallion composition that reflects the highest standards of Persian silk weaving.
Design and Motifs
The field is centered around an elaborate multi-layered medallion radiating outward in perfectly balanced symmetry. Dense floral sprays, palmettes, rosettes, and delicate vine scrolls fill the field with remarkable clarity. Every motif is sharply articulated, a hallmark of high-grade Qum silk rugs.
Border and Framing
The main border features continuous floral cartouches interconnected by flowing vines, framed by multiple finely detailed guard borders. The border structure tightly contains the field, reinforcing symmetry and visual depth without overpowering the central medallion.
Colors and Their Placement
The foundation color is a refined ivory, providing a luminous base that allows the silk fibers to reflect light naturally. Soft sky blues and muted turquoise tones dominate the medallion and surrounding floral network, creating a calm yet intricate visual rhythm. Sage green and pale olive appear in leaf forms and secondary motifs, adding organic contrast. Burgundy, wine red, and muted rust tones are strategically placed in floral centers and outlining elements, giving depth and definition without overwhelming the composition. Subtle camel, beige, and soft gold hues are used in transitional areas, enhancing warmth and balance throughout the rug.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted using 100% pure silk pile on a silk foundation, this rug displays extremely fine knot density, resulting in razor-sharp pattern definition and a smooth, lustrous surface. The weaving precision allows for complex color transitions and minute detailing that wool rugs cannot achieve.
Signature and Workshop History
This rug is signed Behi, indicating it was woven in a recognized Qum workshop. Signed Qum rugs are produced in limited quantities and typically represent the highest tier of silk craftsmanship, often associated with master weavers and elite ateliers known for meticulous execution.
