Vintage 1950s Persian Qum silk rug 72cm x 140cm

This handmade vintage Persian Qum silk rug from the 1950s is an exceptional example of fine Middle Eastern craftsmanship, celebrated for its intricate detailing and refined elegance. Qum rugs are highly regarded for their precision and use of silk, often considered among the most delicate and luxurious of Persian weavings. The rug features a beautifully structured panel design composed of six individual compartments, each filled with finely drawn floral and ornamental motifs. These sections resemble miniature artworks, each with its own distinct composition, yet harmoniously unified within the overall layout. A soft ivory ground frames the design, while warm tones of beige, rose, and light brown blend seamlessly with accents of blue, green, and black. The border is richly decorated with repeating floral elements, adding depth and structure to the piece. Woven entirely from silk, the rug has a soft, luminous surface that reflects light subtly, enhancing the clarity of its intricate patterns. The fine weave allows for remarkable detail, making every element of the design crisp and expressive. Condition: Good vintage condition with light age-related wear.
