Qum produces some of the finest silk carpets in the world. This large piece is knotted at 2000 knots per square inch in 100 percent silk on silk and is signed by its maker Kazmi. At that density the design resolution is closer to a master engraving than to a woven textile.
The Tree of Life is one of the oldest and most enduring motifs in the carpet weaving tradition. In Qum silk at this knot count the branching forms and botanical detail are rendered with a precision that is genuinely extraordinary. The red ground gives the design depth and warmth. The blue border provides a strong, clean frame. The silk pile shifts with the direction of light in a way that photographs cannot convey.
In your home: Best in a formal sitting room or study with low foot traffic. Works well displayed under a glass table or as a wall hanging. Suits rooms with considered furnishing and good natural light.
