4 x 5 Vintage Persian Silk Qum Rug 74689

74689 Vintage Orange Persian Silk Qum Rug, 03'07 x 05'02.

A blaze of luminous color and intricate refinement, this hand-knotted silk vintage Persian Qum rug radiates with the poetic splendor of a garden captured in full bloom. At the heart of this composition unfurls an ornate central floral medallion—richly detailed and symmetrically composed—set against a resplendent field of abrash orange. The medallion, rendered in deep navy and punctuated with golden and roseate blooms, appears as though it floats above the glowing field, a celestial blossom suspended in timeless harmony.

Surrounding the medallion, a delicate cascade of floral bouquets unfurls in every direction, their stems and tendrils gracefully curling across the surface like calligraphy in motion. Each bloom—whether shaded in sapphire, pistachio, coral, or sky blue—tells its own story of Persian botany, of seasons remembered and beauty revered. The cream-toned spandrels in each corner echo the same floral symphony, offering a gentle pause, like moonlight resting at the edge of a sunlit garden.

Framing this garden of silk is a rich sapphire blue border, alive with a reticulating procession of chrysanthemums and lotus blossoms. Their rhythmic repetition, both lush and lyrical, forms a garland that encircles the Qum rug with noble elegance. Small rosettes, vine scrolls, and jewel-like blossoms dance in harmony along the border’s edge, bringing balance to the vivid composition within. The combination of bold color and finely drawn motifs evokes the refined aesthetics of Qum’s most masterful weavers—those who transform nature into poetry, knot by knot.

Woven from pure silk, this Persian Qum rug shimmers with an internal luster, a softness that speaks of both its material and its spirit. It is not simply a furnishing but a woven ode to Persian artistry, where elegance is eternal and beauty is bound in silk. Whether gracing the floor or adorning the wall, this radiant creation offers more than decor—it offers a glimpse into a tradition of refinement, a legacy of light and floral splendor preserved in every shimmering thread.
