Ornate Persian Qum Rug Allover design | Floral Silk and 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 extremely 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 ground breaking.

In tune with the Qum weavers adaptability and ingenuity, this wonderful repeat pattern of floral elements is likely to be a descendant of one of the many European silk embroideries which were popular in 19th century Persia. The complexion is pale, and includes pastel tones  pale violet and ivory as back gound colours with blue, green brown red and saffron as pattern defining colours combined with associated accent tones, juxtaposed in such a way as to maximise the visual impact of the composition.
