Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A black silk ground covered with fine cream scrolling vines, and at its centre a large star-shaped medallion in rose and cream that frames a round landscape: mountains under a pale sky, a green forest, and a waterfall running into a lake. In each corner a turquoise panel holds a bouquet of red roses. The red main border carries flowers and curling vines between cream guard stripes dotted with small red blossoms, and cream silk fringe finishes both ends. A woven signature sits in the top border.

Hand-knotted in silk in Qum, Iran. The very fine knotting lets the landscape read like a small painting, and the black ground makes the roses, the turquoise and the rose medallion stand out strongly. At 100×150cm (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 black ground hides small marks but shows dust and lint, and the fine drawing of the landscape blurs quickly under shoes. 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 joins two of the city's favourite ideas: a formal medallion design and a small woven picture. The ground is black, covered edge to edge with fine cream scrolling vines. At the centre sits a large star-shaped medallion in rose and cream, and inside it a round landscape is drawn like a miniature painting: mountains under a pale sky, a green forest, and a waterfall running into a lake. In each corner a turquoise panel holds a bouquet of red roses, a motif Persian weavers call gol farang, the foreign flower. The red main border carries flowers and curling vines between cream guard stripes dotted with small red blossoms. A woven signature sits in the top border, and the rug is finished with cream silk fringe. The black ground makes every colour stand out, so the rug looks rich and clear from across a room. It suits a bedroom floor, and it is equally at home hung on a wall.
