Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A warm apricot silk ground covered with fine scrolling vines that carry small cream, navy and red blossoms. At the centre sits a navy medallion with a scalloped outline and a red and cream rosette at its heart, with a small navy pendant above and below. The four corners of the field are filled with cream panels of flowers. The wide navy border carries large pink and cream palmettes linked by curling vines, between coral guard stripes, with an apricot outer edge and cream silk fringe at both ends.

Hand-knotted in silk in Qum, Iran, from the Ahmadi workshop. The warm apricot ground and the dark navy medallion and border give a strong, clear contrast, and the silk pile changes tone as you walk around it. At 99×151cm (about 1 tatami) it suits a bedroom floor or a wall.

100% silk pile, hand-knotted in Qum, with silk fringe at both ends. Silk is strong in tension but delicate in every other respect: it abrades, it marks with water, and it loses lustre permanently if treated like wool.

A light apricot ground shows dirt and pressure marks sooner than a dark one, and strong sunlight can fade it unevenly. On a floor, keep it to a spot people cross in socks rather than shoes, or hang it on a wall.

Qum, south of Tehran, is known for the finest silk rugs woven in Iran, and this piece from the Ahmadi workshop shows the city's classic medallion style in a warm, glowing colour. The ground is apricot, covered with fine scrolling vines that carry small cream, navy and red blossoms. At the centre sits a navy medallion with a scalloped outline and a red and cream rosette at its heart, with a small navy pendant above and below. The four corners of the field are filled with cream panels of flowers, which give the apricot ground a curved outline. The wide navy border carries large pink and cream palmettes linked by curling vines, between coral guard stripes, and the rug is finished with an apricot outer edge and cream silk fringe. The warm ground keeps the rug bright, while the navy medallion and border give it a clear frame. It suits a bedroom floor, and it is equally at home hung on a wall.
