Handwoven Carpet, Medallion Layout, All Silk, Qom, 100 × 150 cm Ref 10100172

This all-silk Qom handwoven rug, measuring 100 × 150 cm (3'3" × 4'11") with an area of 1.50 m² (16.15 ft²), is woven at a density of about 11,400 knots/dm², placing it among the category of fine rugs. This medallion rug, made of pure, lustrous silk, is a portrait of beauty. Produced by the Alipour brand, it features within its central medallion a scene of a horseman surrounded by flowers and birds. Like a Persian miniature painting, the imagery speaks without words, carrying the viewer’s spirit on a journey into imagination. The magnificent navy field, reminiscent of a starry night sky, forms the principal ground for this pictorial narrative; in artistic contrast with the warm, traditional brown border, it bestows a classical and profound character upon the piece. This chromatic combination, enhanced by the sheen of silk, changes under different lights, imparting depth and motion to the rug. The silk employed in this creation has endowed it not only with unmatched softness and brilliance but also with the capacity to render the finest pictorial details—an attribute rarely found in rugs of such refinement and narrative quality.
