Ghoum Carpet, Silk On Silk – Shah Era, Circa 1970 – No. 1704

A magnificent Persian rug from Qom (Qum), made entirely of silk, dating from the Shah era, circa 1970.
Dimensions: 163 × 105 cm.

This superb Qom rug captivates with the exceptional delicacy of its floral design and the richness of its composition. Entirely hand-knotted in silk, it features a field of deep midnight blue, enlivened by a profusion of meticulously rendered flowers, scrolls, palmettes, and plant motifs.

At the center, an elegant multi-lobed medallion dominated by gold and turquoise structures the composition, surrounded by bouquets of flowers and plant tendrils that unfurl with great precision across the entire field. The shades of deep blue, ivory, red, pink, green, and ochre create a refined and particularly luminous contrast.

The design is complemented by a wide floral border, itself framed by several finely ornamented counter-borders. The density of the design, the finesse of the pattern, and the richness of the colors are characteristic of the prestigious productions of Qom, an Iranian city renowned for its exquisitely delicate silk carpets.

With its elegant dimensions of 163 × 105 cm, this rug will easily find its place in a classic or contemporary interior, whether as a refined decorative piece, a foot-of-the-bed rug, a collector’s item, or the centerpiece of a reception area.
