Gorgeous Persian Qom Area Rug
Item Details
A gorgeous Persian Qom rug made from hand knotted wool. This beautiful and dramatic rug has a deep, rich indigo field featuring a large central star medallion in ivory with burnt orange, cerulean blue, carnelian, saffron, and ruby colors, banded in ruby red and outlined in ivory. The medallion has a pendant to each end in repeating colors with lotus blossoms. The medallion is surrounded and encircled by a garden motif of large sprays of peonies (‘power’), roses (‘innocence, mystery’), lilies (‘purity’), and smaller, repeated open blossoms with large foliate and leaf designs and boteh (‘flame’) in saturated oranges, ruby, greens and blues. Large lotus blossoms decorate the border of the central medallion. The spandrel colors echo the central colors and feature more blossoms and foliate patterns, ending the rug with a crenellated Rhodian border of tulips and open blossoms in garnet, indigo, and paler blue. The carpet has a short fringe to each end.
