Item Description

Fine Early 20th Century Qum Rug

2.00 x 1.45 m

Unlike many of the other Persian rug-weaving cities, Qum only established itself as a centre of production in the early 20th Century, though its carpets quickly established a reputation for the unique creativity of their designs, as well as high-quality of the wool, often Merino, from which they are made.

An attractive Qum rug with a harmonious palette of vegetable dyed colour palette, including shades of light green, terracotta, sky blue and ivory. The all-over paisley design is derived from early Persian textiles of the 18th century – originally an ancient Zoroastrian motif, representing the evergreen cypress tree, a symbol of everlasting life - with a fine weave engendering a real crisp clarity in the drawing.

In very good condition, still retaining its original borders and fringes at both ends.

A versatile rug to suit a wide variety of settings.
