Qum Silk Rug
2 × 3 ft · 56 × 79 cm · Indigo & Ivory
A new hand-knotted Qum silk — an ivory floral medallion on a deep indigo field, silk pile on a silk foundation, at roughly 800,000 knots per m².
Qum — A Classic Medallion in Silk
Qum (also Qom, Ghom) is a centre of Persian silk weaving: its ateliers emerged in the 20th century and became known for silk knotting. This small-format piece is hand-knotted entirely in mulberry silk, both pile and foundation. At roughly 800,000 knots per m² (approx. 516 kpsi), the density lets the curved lines of the central medallion and the small floral fills read sharply at close distance. The pile is approximately 5 mm, low and tightly clipped in the Qum manner.
Colour and Composition
The composition is the classical Qum: a central ivory floral medallion with red and green rosettes at its heart, set on a deep indigo-blue field. Around it, floral sprays and corner motifs — roses, buds and leafy stems — are scattered across the blue ground. A multi-band border frames the field: a coral-red outer edge, an ivory main border worked with flowers and rosettes, and turquoise-green guard stripes. The palette: indigo blue, ivory, coral-red, green, salmon-apricot and gold-brown, with turquoise accents. As with all silk, the surface shifts with the light, so the piece reads differently in morning and evening.
Presence in the Room
At 56 × 79 cm (0.4 m²) the format invites display rather than floor traffic. Three settings in which it works well:
- Wall hanging: behind a console or in a reading corner, where the silk catches changing light, the use small Qum silks are most often put to.
- Centred on a low table: a small accent that rewards close looking.
- Entryway: a compact piece for an entry or hallway wall.
