Description

Qum silk carpets are woven near the city of Tehran, and produced very fine rugs since the 1930’s.  Known for beautiful designs and very fine patterns of floral designs, all silk Qum carpets such as this are remarkable to view up close.  Woven on a silk foundation and with a silk pile, the shine on this rug is stunning.  Around 25 years old, the condition is brilliant and perfect, these fine rugs are increasingly rare to find, they would cost a great deal more to weave today in modern day Iran.  Lovely gentle colours on this fine silk rug, muted dyes and very easy on the eye.

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire & the UK by appointment.  Please request a home visit to view this silk Qum carpet in-situ, or book in a visit to our barn showroom by appointment.


Qum was not a major weaving centre until the 1930’s. They took designs from other weaving centres such as Isfahan, Tabriz and Kashan and made them in to their own unique style. Qum’s are finely knotted and use high quality wool and silk. Large looms are set up in Qum so you often find oversized wool and silk Qum’s.  Designs generally consist of central medallions with elaborate corner spandrel designs, often these represent the ceiling designs in mosques.  Qum was also fond of producing hunting scene rugs, and unusual colours.

Our love of silk rugs and carpets has allowed us to gain quite a selection of fine examples, both antique and contemporary.  We have some remarkable silk Isfahan carpets dating back to the turn of the century as well as a rare collection of Kum Kapi rugs.  Please contact us if you would like more information about this stunning silk Qum or any other silk rugs.
