Qum produces some of the finest silk carpets in Iran, working almost exclusively in pure silk at knot densities that place the craft closer to illustration than weaving. This small piece is knotted at 484 knots per square inch in 100 percent silk on silk.
The red ground with black border at 3 ft 3 in x 5 ft 1 in is rich and warm. The silk pile shifts between deep red and a warmer scarlet tone depending on the angle of light. At this small format the piece is a collector item, best appreciated on a surface rather than underfoot.
In your home: Works on a console under glass, framed as a wall textile or as a collector piece. Suits studies, dressing rooms and formal bedrooms.
