RUG INFORMATION:
Extremely well preserved old Qum hunting carpet.
This ~60 year old silk Qum pictorial hunting rug is a great example of what the old silk Qum Persian rugs are so well known for.
Thanks to the fact that it is a wide pictorial Qum silk rug, it was hang on a wall by an owner who obviously treated it like a piece of art. The workmanship and colors are classic of the Qum rugs from around 1960 as the mint background color and the design in the borders were very popular during that time. Also, unlike the new pure silk Qum rugs, this Qum rug was made with a Turkish knot, which is also typical of Qum rugs from that era and the dyes are pure vegetable dyes. As you can see by the pictures, the aging has given the Qum rug a degree of patina and when you look closely at the pictures, you can see how the colors have aged slightly differently, which is common with the older pieces that are made of pure vegetable dyes. The details of the hunting design with the horse riders and animals is also a classic rendition of the hunting scenes that the pictorial Qum rugs are so well known for. In all, a great piece and given the rare horizontal shape, perfect for hanging on a wall.
