A magnificent Ghoum (Qom) carpet from the Shah period, made entirely of silk around 1970. This exceptional piece illustrates all the refinement of Persian textile art and the remarkable skill of the master weavers of the town of Ghoum, renowned for producing some of the finest silk rugs in Iran.

The decoration is organized around an imposing central medallion with elegant architectural forms, deployed on a deep red background with shimmering reflections. The central field, richly decorated with a delicate floral network, is distinguished by extraordinary finesse of execution and remarkable precision of design. The finely decorated spandrels and black-ground main border create a harmonious contrast that enhances the richness of the motifs.

The exceptional quality of the silk lends the ensemble a remarkable luminosity and brilliance, varying according to the orientation of the light. The density of the knotting, the finesse of the floral details and the perfect balance of the composition testify to work of the highest quality, characteristic of Ghoum's prestigious productions during the imperial period.

Both a work of art and a decorative object, this rug will bring elegance, warmth and distinction to a classic or contemporary interior. Its harmonious format makes it easy to integrate into a living room, office or collection of quality Oriental rugs.
