Fine Qum Rug Medallion design Kork Wool (Cashmere) on Cotton foundation

 

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.

 

An intriguing, original and highly decorative Qum rug. The blue pointed and lobed floral medallion is surrounded by a multi coloured  floral surround  which floats majestically on a predominantly plain ivory background which is then framed with in continuous pointed arches woven with a variety of flowering vines.  The style of this arrangement demonstrates the ingenuity of the highly skilled Qum weavers. The colours are extensive with red, salmon, green, saffron in predominantly subtle tones are juxtaposed in order to maximise the visual appeal of the composition, all presented on a deep blue or ivory background. The blue border frames the field superbly and is woven with larger scale flowering plants compared with the other floral elements which gives balance to the overall composition.
