Signed Pure Silk Persian Qum — Master Weave

£7,500£9,000In stock, ready to ship

A breathtaking, museum-quality pure silk Qum carpet — hand-knotted in the holy city of Qum, Iran, world-renowned for producing the finest silk rugs on earth. This is not merely a floor covering; it is a genuine masterpiece of woven art, signed by the master craftsman who created it — a mark of distinction and prestige that places it in the highest tier of Persian weaving. Woven entirely from the most lustrous, finest natural silk, every single thread gleams with a deep, iridescent richness that shifts and glows with the light. The weave is extraordinarily dense — over 500 knots per square inch — meaning each tiny, perfect detail was tied individually by hand over more than a year of patient, skilled labour. The result is a surface so smooth and intricate it appears almost painted, yet remains incredibly durable, built to be cherished for centuries. At 200 cm × 132 cm, this magnificently proportioned piece features a commanding, luminous central medallion bursting with turquoise, gold, and blossom hues, set against a sumptuous field of deep burgundy — a backdrop that makes every delicate floral and vine design radiate with breathtaking clarity. The multi-layered border is a tour de force of the weaver’s art: bands of ivory and cream frame endless rows of flowers, leaves, and scrolling vines, each rendered with microscopic precision and harmonious colouring. The weaver’s signature is proudly woven into the upper border — a permanent testament to the skill and soul behind this extraordinary creation. In immaculate, untouched condition, this silk Qum stands as an heirloom in every sense — radiant, refined, and timeless. Whether placed in a formal drawing room, library, or grand entrance hall, it brings an immediate air of opulence and grace. An investment in beauty that will be admired for generations to come.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 649 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 2,655,713 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 15 months.

How that is worked out: 79 in × 52 in × 649 knots per sq. in. ≈ 2,655,713 — that is 200 × 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.
