Description
A wonderful quality pure silk Qum carpet, woven with a very rare yellow main ground. Signed ‘Bafte Iran’ by a top weaving workshop, this piece was woven around 24 years ago. Woven on a silk foundation and using the finest silk pile, the detailing is exceptional. It would have taken 2 years to weave this piece all by hand. Increasingly rare to find Qum carpets of this quality with some age.
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.
