Persian Qum 16x24

Persian Qum rugs are named for the province approximately 100 km south of Tehran. Constructed of wool and silk, these luxurious rugs are not only known for their high-quality craftsmanship but are considered a smart investment for a collector, as the value continues to increase over time.

Persian Qums feature wool and silk rugs that are heavily knotted with the tree of life and medallion motifs. This collector’s rug exhibits an intricate asymmetrical medallion motif. Because these rugs can be smaller than other types of Persian rugs and constructed with silk, they are often displayed on walls, rather than spread on floors. Considered some of the finest in Iranian craftsmanship, Qum rugs have a very high knot density and exquisitely vibrant coloring.

This antique masterpiece woven a high knot count creates an intricately elaborate design. The design is the traditional Persian Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner with a large salmon-color medallion and matching color border. The light gray-blue field is covered with curvilinear palmettes and leaves. The navy border creates a dramatic effect against the muted colors palette. This natural silk Qum rug is discreetly luxurious but boldly crafted.
