Antique Qum Rug 187x136cm

This exquisite and unusual antique Qum rug from central Iran stands out for its refined elegance and distinctive layout. Known for producing some of the finest Persian rugs, Qum weavers are admired for their precision, artistry, and use of luxurious materials. This particular piece exemplifies that heritage while offering a rare and sophisticated design twist.

The cream field serves as a soft, graceful backdrop for an elegant pattern of vases filled with blooming flowers, spaced rhythmically and interspersed with smaller floral vases and delicate blossoms. The composition flows with balance and harmony, creating a tranquil visual rhythm that invites closer appreciation.

What makes this rug especially unusual is its use of only narrow borders, a departure from the broader framing more commonly found in Qum carpets. The inner border features classic paisley and floral motifs, symbolising fertility and life, while the outer light blue border introduces a striking three-tone floral pattern that beautifully ties the entire design together.

This rug is a graceful and rare example of Persian weaving artistry—ideal for formal spaces, refined interiors, or collectors seeking something truly distinctive.
