Fine Old Persian Qum Rug moharamat stripe design fine wool and silk

 

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.

This fine old Persian Qum rug woven in wool and silk displays a design known as the ‘moharamat’ design, defined by a number of vertical stripes of different widths. In this striking example there are stripes in four colours, pale blue, ivory, red, and deep blue, each delicately woven with a variety of ascending plants in muted shades of colour. This composition is superbly framed with a contrasting red border thereby completing the harmonic appearance of this fine design.
