RUG INFORMATION:
Masterpiece quality Qum rug from the Mardani workshop with ~700KPSI...
This Qum rug is one of several pieces that we have had in the past from the Mardani workshop in Qum and features an incredible degree of workmanship. Whereas many high end workshops in Qom focus on knot counts, the Mardani family is known for the old-school approach and produce pure silk Qum rugs that are much denser and stronger than others. If you hold one of their Qum rugs in your hands and compare it with other silk Qum rugs of the knot count, you will know instantly the difference in the weight and quality of the silk.
In addition to featuring about 700 kpsi, this Mardani Qum rug also features a design and colors that are typical of the Mardani workshop. You can see that the Qum rug is colorful and yet very elegant and that the colors compliment each other very well. Also, the design is meant to be classic and yet unique in its own way as you can see in the layout of the pictorial medallion, which features a design that is often found in smaller Qum rugs that they have woven for us. Simply superb in every detail, this pure silk Qum rug is everything you would expect from a genuine silk Qum rug and is perfectly suited for formal areas of a home or office. As with all of our pure silk Qum rugs, this piece is also signed by the weavers and is this case features the proud signature of the Mardani workshop.
