A prayer-rug design on a deep plum ground, under a cream arch filled with scrolling vines and coral blossoms. A tall ornamental vase rises up the centre on a twisted stem from a small pavilion at the base, hung with tassels and framed by golden scrolls, with butterflies and flower sprays drifting around it. Pairs of twisted columns stand to either side, with flower baskets on brick ledges above and scrolling vases below. A wide red main border of paisley-like palmettes and white blossoms, between guard stripes of small diamonds, frames the design, finished with silk fringe at both ends.

Hand-knotted in silk in Qum. The fine knotting keeps every scroll and petal crisp, and the silk makes the dark ground glow. At 79×122cm this is an extra small rug, suited to a bedside, a quiet corner 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.

The dark plum ground hides small marks well, but the cream arch at the top shows everything, and the red border can fade unevenly in sunlight. Many owners hang a piece like this on a wall, where the drawing can be seen in full and the silk is safe from feet.

Qum, south of Tehran, is known for the finest silk rugs woven in Iran, and its weavers often turn to the prayer-rug layout as a frame for richly drawn scenes. Here a cream arch filled with scrolling vines and coral blossoms crowns a deep plum ground. Up the centre rises a tall ornamental vase on a twisted stem, set on a small pavilion and hung with tassels, framed by golden scrolls with butterflies and flower sprays drifting around it. Pairs of twisted columns stand to either side, with flower baskets on brick ledges above them and scrolling vases at their feet, so the whole field reads like a garden doorway. A wide red main border of paisley-like palmettes and white blossoms, between guard stripes of small diamonds, closes the design, and the rug is finished with silk fringe at both ends. The fine knotting keeps every scroll crisp, and the silk makes the dark ground and red border glow. A rug of this size suits a bedside or a quiet corner, and it is equally at home hung on a wall.
