Known for their intricate craftsmanship and use of luminous silk, Quom rugs are highly prized for their fine weave and richly detailed designs. This particular piece presents a richly colored field dominated by an elaborate central medallion framed by floral arrangements and scrolling vines. The palette, enhanced by the natural sheen of silk, features warm tones of chestnut and amber accented with sky blue, ivory, and ruby red, creating a striking interplay of light and depth. Four corner spandrels, filled with floral baskets and ornate flourishes, further balance the symmetry of the composition. The borders, finely articulated with continuous blossoms and vine motifs, enhance the rug’s sense of elegance and structure. Compact yet exquisitely detailed, this small-format rug is a remarkable showcase of Persian silk weaving artistry. See less
