This hand-knotted 100% silk Persian Qum rug, measuring 6'6" x 9'6", is a woven poem of light and color. Signed by the master artisan Abbaspour, it carries the soul of Qum’s centuries-old tradition, where silk threads are transformed into works of art. Its luminous central medallion blossoms like a celestial garden, surrounded by delicate sprays of vines and florals that ripple across an ebony field. Every knot, placed with meditative precision, captures light differently, so the rug seems to breathe and shimmer as you move around it.
The intricate borders frame this living tapestry with layers of arabesques, rosettes, and palmettes, each rendered in jewel-like tones of sapphire, coral, ivory, and gold. The silk, dyed with natural pigments, reflects light in a way that lends depth to every detail, evoking the changing shadows of a Persian garden at dusk. The subtle gradations of color reveal themselves slowly, rewarding the eye with endless discoveries.
Running your hand across the rug is to feel a whisper of luxury—its fine silk pile is soft, supple, and almost liquid in its movement. This ethereal quality is achieved only through an astonishing knot density, allowing the weaver to draw with thread in the way a painter works with a brush. It is not merely a floor covering but a luminous canvas that changes character with the passing sun or the flicker of lamplight.
Signed Abbaspour, this piece is both an heirloom and a testament to devotion, skill, and heritage. In a quiet room, it commands presence without words; underfoot, it transforms an ordinary space into a sanctuary of elegance. Owning such a rug is like holding a fragment of Persian history, a silken legacy meant to be admired for generations.
