Vintage Qum Silk Rug
4 × 5 ft · 108 × 155 cm · Coral Red
A vintage Qum silk rug with a floral medallion on a deep coral-red field.
Provenance and Knotting Tradition
Qum (Ghom) is one of the younger Persian rug-knotting cities. Production began in earnest in the 1930s, when carpet producers from nearby Kashan set up workshops in Qum; by the 1960s the city had developed its own vocabulary of densely drawn floral medallion designs. Qum is known for silk knotting: fine silk threads allow small knots, so complex motifs can be drawn in detail.
This piece was hand-knotted in Qum, Iran, approximately 40 to 50 years ago, from 100 % silk in pile, warp and weft, at a density of approximately 640,000 knots per m² (about 413 knots per inch²). Decades of age have softened the silk lustre to a quieter, mellow glow — the piece is in excellent condition.
Colour and Composition
The design is a classical Qum floral medallion — a finely drawn central medallion on an open field densely filled with flowering vases, blossom sprays and small birds. The field ground is a deep coral red; against it the drawing is worked in sage and olive green, soft blue, ivory and gold. A black-ground main border of repeating florets frames the field, flanked by olive-gold guard borders. The silk gives every element a shifting lustre that changes with the light.
Presence in the Room
At 108 × 155 cm (1.7 m², approx. 4 × 5 ft) this is a small format — a piece for considered placement and close looking. Three contexts in which it comes into its own:
- Bedside or beneath an armchair: the mellowed silk lustre suits a personal, intimate space.
- Entrance or vestibule: a single statement piece on the way into the home.
- Wall hanging: silk pieces of this size can also be displayed on the wall, where the shifting light becomes part of the effect.
