About the Item

77694 Vintage Persian Silk Qum Rug, 08'00 x 11'01. Bathed in the soft patina of time, this hand-knotted silk Persian Qum rug whispers of centuries past, its palette washed to serene earth-tones through a refined antique finish. At the heart of the composition rests a graceful cusped medallion, scalloped with delicate acanthus scrolls and anchored at either end by elegant palmette pendants. The medallion, like a memory etched in silk, hovers in quiet harmony atop the gentle expanse, softened to hues of parchment, taupe, faded olive, and plum. It invites the eye inward, into a world of subdued grandeur where the passage of time has only heightened its beauty. Surrounding the medallion, a lyrical composition of flora unfurls across the field. Blooming palmettes, curled sickle leaves, and leafy tendrils entwine with arabesque vines that dance rhythmically like poetry in motion. Each motif—whether it be the layered peony, spirited carnation, or regal lotus—emerges with quiet grace, rendered in faded tones that blend into the luminous field with painterly restraint. The field seems to breathe, alive with a natural rhythm, a garden dreamt through silk and time. In each corner, elaborate spandrels extend from the border, mirroring the floral cadence within the field. These areas brim with opulent frondescence—lush and curling foliage that wraps around itself like botanical scrollwork. Their design echoes the heart of the rug, offering a subtle symmetry that gives balance to the overall composition. The corners act as quiet anchors, each one a vignette of cultivated beauty that contributes to the rug’s poetic unity. Framing this timeless composition is a complementary botanical border, drawn in the same muted grace as the interior. Delicate floral meander guard bands run along the inner and outer edges, their continuous movement a visual echo of the arabesques within. Together, these elements speak to the mastery of Qum’s weavers—those artisans of silk and silence—who conjure entire gardens within their looms. This rug, soft in palette and rich in soul, is a tribute to Persian elegance, an heirloom of woven verse that brings warmth and history to any space it graces. Abrash. Antique Wash. Made in Iran. Measures: 08'00 x 11'01. Pile Height: 0.19 of an inch. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
