Persian Qum Silk – 1.95×1.34

Description

This carpet has a central medallion  with a field rich in floral elements whose curves and colours are skilfully combined. The field is separated from the main border by several smaller borders, which serves to give a lovely frame to the centre of the carpet, which is bright and sumptuous. Designed by Master Nasiri.

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.
