Persian Ghoum Silk Rug

Entirely hand-knotted, 100% silk, vegetable dyes, size: 100cmX143cm. The Ghoum Carpet is a type of carpet produced in Iran in the Ghoum region. The first looms appeared in 1930, on the initiative of merchants from Keshan. Despite their recent manufacture, they have imposed themselves by the perfection of their technique and the variety of their designs. The classic motifs are the boteh, gardens and zil-e sultan. We also find the flowers on a plain background characteristic of Ispahan carpets and the central medallion of Keshan carpets. The Ghoum carpet has a very colorful appearance, the white and ivory of the background bringing out the multicolored patterns.
