Pure Silk Persian Qum — Master Weave

£7,500£9,000In stock, ready to ship

A spectacular 100% pure silk Persian Qum carpet — the pinnacle of fine Iranian weaving, handcrafted in the renowned city of Qum. Every thread is pure silk, yielding a luminous, lustrous surface that catches the light with an exquisite, iridescent sheen — silky-soft, incredibly fine, and breathtakingly beautiful. At 205 cm × 132 cm, a pristine ivory field forms a glowing backdrop to an endlessly intricate floral masterpiece. A graceful central medallion anchors the design, surrounded by cascading rose, lotus, and scrolling vine motifs — woven with microscopic precision in rich crimson, warm terracotta, soft sky blue, and gentle olive. Every element is balanced in perfect symmetry, a testament to master-level skill. The wide, multi-layered border is equally magnificent — each band packed with delicate flowers and ornamental details, rendered with the extraordinary clarity only pure silk and an exceptionally fine weave can achieve. This level of perfection required over a year of patient, dedicated handwork — a labour of love by master artisans. In flawless, untouched mint condition — bright, crisp, and radiant — this is not merely a floor covering but a genuine woven treasure. Pure silk Qums are among the most coveted of all Persian rugs, cherished as heirlooms that only grow more valuable with time. It brings an air of refined elegance and timeless luxury to any room — an investment in beauty that will be admired for generations.

Look closer

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 650 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 2,726,300 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 13 months.

How that is worked out: 81 in × 52 in × 650 knots per sq. in. ≈ 2,726,300 — that is 205 × 132 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.
