Qum is one of Iran's most prestigious carpet weaving cities, producing pure silk carpets at knot densities that place the craft closer to miniature painting than conventional weaving. This piece is knotted at 2000 knots per square inch in 100 percent silk on a silk base, one of the highest knot densities achievable by hand.
The red ground with multicolour border at 3 ft 3 in x 4 ft 9 in is rich and luminous. At 2000 knots per square inch the design achieves a precision and detail that no photograph fully captures. In pure silk the colours shift with the direction of light in a way that wool cannot replicate. This is a serious collector piece.
In your home: Works framed as a wall textile, on a console under glass or as a focal collector piece in a formal room. Suits studies, formal bedrooms and any space where objects of exceptional craft are valued.
