A cream field filled edge to edge with scrolling vines, palmettes and blossoms, with a lobed salmon medallion at the centre and floral pendants above and below it on the long axis. Spandrels in pale sage and cream mark the four corners, and the whole field is so densely drawn that the medallion seems to float in a garden of flowers. A wide raspberry main border of large palmettes, curling leaves and grape-like clusters, between several fine guard stripes, frames the design, finished with silk fringe at both ends. A small woven signature sits in the top border.

Hand-knotted in silk in Qum. The fine knotting keeps every petal and tendril crisp, and the silk gives the colours a soft, shifting sheen. At 101×150cm this is a small rug, suited to a spot in front of a sofa, beside a bed or on 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.

The cream field is the part to protect, and the raspberry border sits right against it. At 101×150cm the rug can go on a floor, but a floor people cross in socks rather than shoes, and away from where drinks are carried.

Qum, south of Tehran, is known for the finest silk rugs woven in Iran, and this piece shows the city's love of dense floral drawing. A lobed salmon medallion sits at the centre, with floral pendants reaching up and down the long axis, but the cream field around it is just as full: scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes and leaves cover it edge to edge, so the medallion seems to float in a garden of flowers. Spandrels in pale sage and cream mark the four corners. A wide raspberry main border of large palmettes, curling leaves and grape-like clusters, between several fine guard stripes, closes the design, and a small woven signature sits in the top border. The rug is finished with silk fringe at both ends. The fine knotting keeps every tendril sharp, and the silk makes the cream and raspberry glow as the light moves. A rug of this size suits a quiet spot in front of a sofa, beside a bed or hung on a wall.
