Exquisite Fine Old Qum Rug
Rug #607Exquisite Fine Old Qum Rug Allover design | Paisley Fine Wool Pile
The city of Qum is a recently established centre for the weaving of urban style rugs with workshops appearing there from around 1927 onwards. It rapidly became a significant and important centre for the creation of technically fine silk rugs and carpets, though fine wool pile rugs are also made there. The repertoire of their designs is varied, ranging from designs based on Safavid Persian traditions of the 16th and 17th Centuries, through to individual creative designs of unparalleled technical and artistic visual excellence, which can often be described as groundbreaking. The fine silk used in their rugs allows the highly skilled weavers to draw exceptional precise detail often in minute scale.
The design of this Qum rug is woven with offset rows of boteh, or paisley motifs. This motif is frequently seen in Qum rugs and arranged in the manner as seen in this rug. The botehs are all the same size and evenly spaced all facing the same direction, worked in a rich golden saffron set against a deep blue ground and supported by a soft red flowering vine infill. This jewel like pattern is framed by a magnificent contrasting pale blue border woven with continuous blue botehs. The drawing of the pattern details is particularly clearly defined considering the pile is woven in wool. The colours have been juxtaposed in such a way as to maximise the visual appeal of the entire composition. The result is an exquisite fine work of Qum woven art.
