Vintage Persian Jamshidi Silk Qum Rug, Timeless Allure Meets Islamic Enchantment
About the Item
78717 Vintage Persian Jamshidi Silk Qum Rug, 02'08 x 04'00. The Jamshidi Silk Qum rug is an exquisite and sought-after type of Persian rug crafted in the city of Qom, Iran. Renowned for its use of silk fibers, this luxurious vintage Persian Qum rug is celebrated for its softness, sheen, and intricate design, featuring an elaborate floral pattern, ornate center medallion, and a captivating border that highlights the precision of the weaving process. Typically smaller in size, this silk Qum rug serves as a decorative or accent piece due to its labor-intensive nature. With a vibrant color palette, high knot density, and a reputation for luxury, this vintage Persian silk Qum rug is signed by the Jamshidi family in Qom, adding a unique and familial touch to its exceptional craftsmanship.
Emerging from a luminous sea of bright yellow, a radiant concentric round medallion takes center stage, gracefully anchored with chandeliers at its ends, adorning a navy blue field that unfolds with an enchanting allover floral pattern. This silk masterpiece pays homage to the rich tapestry of ancient Persian culture and history, weaving in iconic characters from mythology and literature. Within its intricate design, Sultans grace thrones, palaces stand tall, faravahars spread their wings, and lions brandish scimitars. Elephants and camels parade alongside a variety of Persian vases, each element whispering tales of a bygone era.
Delving into the symbolism, the four corners of the rug unveil bird-like figures known as Faravahar, embodying the ideals of good thoughts, good words, and good deeds—a timeless symbol later evolving to become Iran's national emblem. Elephants, historically symbolizing kingship, and lions wielding scimitars, representing royal lineage and divine connection, intertwine with the threads of Persian history. Through literature, camels emerge as symbols of patience, kindness, piety, and simplicity.
This vintage Silk Qum Jamshidi rug captivates for myriad reasons. The harmonious dance of design and color converges to create a breathtaking masterpiece of the highest quality. Its profound connection to Iran's national symbols and ancient cultural motifs adds a splendid layer of significance. This is not merely a rug; it is a cherished relic, a testament to symbolism and exquisite beauty that will be treasured for a lifetime.
