Qum - Silk
The ancient city of Qum in central Iran is famous for its religious shrines and for the silk rugs which began to be produced just before WWII. Sizes tend to be scatters and designs include a paneled garden arrangement, medallions and even pictorial representations. The weave is fine to very fine and the tonality may be slightly subdued to very bright and striking. The re-imposition of the trade embargo means that new Qums will not arrive from Iran and prices of available pieces may rise accordingly.
