A beautiful 1930s carpet from the city of Qum, with a monochrome palette, and a design influenced by Arts & Crafts weavings.
ABOUT
Unlike many of the other Persian rug-weaving cities, Qum only established itself a centre of production in the early 20th Century, though its carpets quickly established a reputation for the high-quality of the wool, often Merino, from which they are made, and the elegance and precision of their designs – this piece is certainly no exception: the richness of the dye, the grade of the weaving, and the skill of its makers are all visible in every detail.
This is an especially unique example, as it incorporates characteristic designs of the Arts and Crafts movement, a decorative style pioneered by figures like John Ruskin and William Morris in late 19th Century Britain. It also features a rare, understated palette, with tones of ivory, caramel, and chocolate brown.
In very good original condition for everyday use, still retaining its original edges and borders on all sides, a highly decorative rug to compliment a wide variety of settings,
