This hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Qum rug is a breathtaking testament to the artistry and tradition of Persian weaving, showcasing a sophisticated interplay of intricate patterns and rich hues.

Every inch of the field brims with intentional artistry, where organic motifs flow seamlessly, capturing the essence of nature’s abundance. Subtle touches of cerulean blue, beige, and brown emerge gracefully against the warm golden background, enriching the rug’s visual depth and timeless elegance.
Surrounding the central field, a series of intricate borders enhances the Qum rug's opulence and structure. The main border features an elaborate floral meander with stylized blossoms, framed by multiple meandering guard bands filled with delicate rosettes, geometric details, and continuous scrolling vines. These layers of borders evoke a sense of formality and balance, guiding the eye effortlessly across the composition. The border’s golden tones, accented with midnight and soft pastel colors, harmonize beautifully with the central medallion and field, completing the rug’s cohesive design.
