Pure Silk Persian Qum — Master Weave

£7,500£9,000In stock, ready to ship

A luminous Persian Qum carpet, woven entirely from 100% pure silk by master artisans in Qum, Central Iran — renowned worldwide for the finest silk rugs. Measuring 200 cm × 130 cm, this perfectly proportioned size brings elegance to living rooms, studies or dining spaces. A radiant rose-pink field centres upon an exquisitely detailed medallion — layered, symmetrical and shimmering with depth. It unfolds into an endless garden of delicate blossoms, scrolling vines and graceful palmettes — every petal and curve rendered with breathtaking precision. The wide, deep sapphire border frames the design with timeless grace, tier upon tier of floral motifs in cream, antique gold and soft blush. Woven to over 500 knots per square inch, the pile is incredibly fine, smooth and lustrous — catching the light to reveal shifting depths of colour no wool can match. It bears the signature of its weaver — a mark of pride and exceptional craftsmanship, making this not just a rug, but a work of art. Qum silk rugs are widely recognised as the pinnacle of Persian weaving — rare, refined and destined to be cherished as a family heirloom.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 600 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 2,418,005 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 15 months.

How that is worked out: 79 in × 51 in × 600 knots per sq. in. ≈ 2,418,005 — that is 200 × 130 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
