This finely woven example reflects the remarkable precision and refinement for which Qom workshops are internationally recognized. The composition features a classic central medallion set within an ivory field densely decorated with intricate floral sprays, scrolling vines, and delicate arabesques. The deep navy border, richly ornamented with palmettes and floral motifs, frames the design with strong visual contrast against the ivory and warm camel spandrels. The silk pile produces a luminous sheen that shifts beautifully with light, enhancing the clarity of the intricate drawing. The tight weave and fine knotting demonstrate master craftsmanship typical of mid 20th century Qom production. A sophisticated decorative textile ideal for collectors and refined interiors. See less
