Qum silk carpets are among the most technically exacting objects in the handmade carpet world. This small format piece is knotted at 900 knots per square inch and signed by its maker Salehi. The burgundy ground gives the floral design a depth and richness that is characteristic of the finest pieces from this tradition.
At 3 ft 3 in x 5 ft this is a collector piece. The silk pile shifts from deep burgundy to a warmer maroon tone depending on the angle of light, which is one of the defining pleasures of owning a silk carpet. The curvilinear pattern is executed at a precision that rewards close attention.
In your home: Works on a console, under glass or framed as a wall textile. Suits formal bedrooms, studies and dressing rooms.
