A hunting scene in silk on a warm beige ground. A hunter in a red coat and plumed cap stands beside his horse under a great flowering tree, its branches heavy with coral blossoms and full of colourful birds. Around him deer and ibex graze and rest among flowering shrubs, while cypress trees, a small stream and a long-tailed bird fill the foreground. A red main border of scrolling vines, palmettes and blossoms, between several fine guard stripes, frames the scene, finished with silk fringe at both ends. A woven signature sits in a small cartouche in the top border.

Hand-knotted in silk in Qum. The fine knotting lets every face, feather and leaf read clearly, and the silk makes the beige ground glow. At 82×120cm this is a small piece, made to hang on a wall or lie beside a bed.

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 beige ground covers most of the picture and shows marks first, and the fine drawing of the figures and animals blurs quickly under shoes. Pictorial silks like this are usually hung on a wall, where the whole scene can be seen and the silk is safe from feet.

Hunting scenes have been a favourite subject of Persian carpets since the sixteenth century, when court workshops wove them for the shahs, and Qum's silk weavers still draw them with great charm. Here a hunter in a red coat and plumed cap stands beside his horse beneath a great flowering tree, its branches heavy with coral blossoms and alive with colourful birds. Around him deer and ibex graze and rest among flowering shrubs, while cypress trees, a small stream and a long-tailed bird fill the foreground, so the whole field reads like a page from an illustrated book. A red main border of scrolling vines, palmettes and blossoms, between several fine guard stripes, frames the scene, with a woven signature in a small cartouche at the top and silk fringe at both ends. The silk makes the warm beige ground glow and lets every face and feather stand out. A piece like this is made to be looked at, hung on a wall or laid where it can be seen in full.
