This carpet was crafted in Qum in central Persia where such carpets were first made in the 1930s. Qum is known for its very finely knotted rugs and carpets in complex Persian medallion, arabesque and palmette styles on light grounds were the favourite approach. Qum rugs are among the finest rugs in the world. This is a good example of such a rug and the quality of this rug is particularly high. In the past and at present, Qum is one of the most important centres for producing silk, Kourk wool and silk inlaid carpets. Weavers in Qum use Persian knots and average around 600 knots per square inch. The majority are small, very fine, and beautiful. The patterns are usually curvilinear, as in this rug.

Description

A magnificent central medallion carpet that has around the medallion a beautiful subdued yellow coloured base field that together create the illusion of a human-eye. The red flowers are powerful, but also restful and beautiful. The motifs and colours of the carpet are well balanced. It is made from silk and comes from the city of Qum. This carpet is particularly delightful because of its range of style and colours.

Qom rugs (or Qum, Ghom, Ghum) are made in the Qom Province of Iran, around 100 km south of Tehran. Although rug weaving in Qom was not a major industry until the past 100 years, the luxurious silk and wool rugs of Qom are known for their high quality and are  regarded among the most expensive in the world.
The rugs from Qum ‘walk on the shoulders of giants’. Because they are relatively new arrivals to the art of carpet design and weaving, they have drawn inspiration from the best carpet weavers, and often have produced rugs superior to those from which they have drawn inspiration.
These carpets are regarded as being among the most beautiful and the most exclusive Persian carpets available. They are often knotted entirely in silk, resulting in a carpet with great lustre. The fine silk thread used makes it possible to produce incredibly detailed patterns.
