Vintage Part Silk Qum Rug 256x156cm

An Unprecedented Fusion: The Tehran-Design Part-Silk Qum

This rare vintage part-silk Qum rug is a masterpiece of refined textile artistry. What makes this piece truly exceptional is the design: it features the iconic, flowing botanical layout of a fine Tehran carpet, a stylistic choice that is very rarely found in Qum production. This departure from the traditional Qum medallion format results in a rug that feels open, sophisticated, and incredibly artistic.

A Masterclass in Texture and Color

• The Luminous Blue Canvas: The ground is a deep, evocative blue, serving as the perfect stage for an intricate arrangement of bushes, flower heads, and scrolling leaves. The composition is lively and spirited, with a color combination that is visually arresting and highly decorative.

• Exceptional Silk Infusion: The silk content is quite high for a Qum rug of this type. The turquoise elements are masterfully woven in silk, creating a shimmering, dimensional effect. As you move across the room, these silk highlights catch the light, causing the rug to glow with an ethereal, jewel-like quality.

• The Gilded Frame: The field is enclosed by a beautiful light blue border that serves as a cool, elegant frame. This border is adorned with intricate gold leaves, a design choice that adds a touch of opulence and perfectly balances the cool blues and vibrant turquoise of the field.

Expertly Executed Artistry

Everything about this rug, from the fine density of the knotting to the seamless color transitions, speaks to the hands of a master workshop. It has been executed expertly, resulting in a carpet that is not only a floor covering but a genuine piece of fine art. Its combination of wool and silk provides both the structural integrity required for long-term beauty and the luxurious, soft handle that Qum rugs are globally renowned for.
