Persian Qum Silk Rug - 1.50x1.02 Gabeh

Persian Qum Silk Rug - 1.50x1.02 GabehThe impression that one gets looking at the carpet is that the designer went to great lengths to insure he managed to fill the carpet with as many flowers as possible. Its beauty is remarkable. The result of a gifted imagination and great artistic talent. Designed by Master Mosavi. Qom rugs (or Qum, Ghom, Ghum) are made in the Qom Province of Iran, around 100 km south of Tehran. Although rug weaving in Qom was not a major industry until the past 100

Large carpets are mainly made by fairly rough yarn on cotton warp with a rustic design

When the end of the field is reached there is a sense that the patterns may continue beyond the borders of the rug

This carpet has a strong presence with the clear shapes in focus

The dynamic look of the Shiravan rug with the bold pattern presents a striking and beautiful feel of the spring and Autumn

A truly magnificent silk carpet from the city of Qum

Skilled artisans may use either the Turkish or Persian knot

the warp of cotton and the knots is Turkish

It is a hand made wool carpet that has the most charming and magical combination of colours

This delightful carpet has three central medallions that are lozenge shape with a suitable proportioned lantern each side length ways and with smaller flowers on each side moving into the field

Their looms are just not able to accommodate the larger sizes

Instead there is are beautiful compartments with delightful patterns and motifs

which is in central Iran which is not too far from Kashan
