An oval silk rug in bright red, built up in rings like a flower. The wide red outer band carries a wreath of flowering vines in cream, pale blue and green, and its edge is cut in small scallops. Inside it a cream ring of curling leaves surrounds a deep green ring filled with pink and cream roses. At the centre a second cream band with a scalloped outline frames a red medallion, with a cream and green rosette at its heart. Cream silk fringe runs all the way around.

Hand-knotted in silk in Qum, Iran. Oval rugs are much harder to weave than rectangular ones and are seldom seen, and the scalloped edge makes this one rarer still. The red, green and cream are clear and strong, and the silk pile changes tone as you walk around it. At 79×121cm this is an extra small rug, suited to a spot beside a bed, a quiet corner or a wall.

100% silk pile, hand-knotted in Qum, with silk fringe all the way around the oval. 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 rings show dirt and pressure marks sooner than the red and green, and strong sunlight can fade the red 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 is woven as an oval, a shape that is much harder to make than a rectangle and is seldom seen. The design is built up in rings, like a flower seen from above. The wide red outer band carries a wreath of flowering vines in cream, pale blue and green, and its edge is cut in small scallops. Inside it a cream ring of curling leaves surrounds a deep green ring filled with pink and cream roses, a motif Persian weavers call gol farang, the foreign flower. At the centre a second cream band with a scalloped outline frames a red medallion, with a cream and green rosette at its heart. Cream silk fringe runs all the way around the oval. The red, green and cream are clear and strong, so the rug draws the eye from across a room. A rug of this size suits a spot beside a bed or a quiet corner, and it is equally at home hung on a wall.
