On the Design:

Admirers of the craft would most likely know this as a vase rug—a term often used both for the elaborate rugs with a pictorial of a vase under such detailed floral patterns like those seen in the field. Therein, a warm orange and salmon tone field underscores floral patterns in the arabesque style, teeming with the detailed curves and keen attention to color variation many masterpieces of this provenance are known for in our field. The border surrounding has a black undertone, which underscores a floral scroll with palmettes in similar gold, beige-brown, and red hues like those among the most present of the many colors at play in this vivid work. The silk’s gentle sheen, too, lends such an air of elegance in any lighting—another of the countless beauties that speak to this rug as a rare, collectible work among the best of its caliber.

Condition:

This antique Qum rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin—ready for the floor and equally suitable as a tapestry for wall-hanging projects. Designers and collectors may note a mild color run in the field. See less
