I am offering for sale an authentic masterpiece of Iranian textile art: an Extra-Fine Qum (Ghom) rug, entirely hand-knotted. The rug was purchased from a historic specialized gallery in Palermo and comes with its original certificate of authenticity. This piece is not just a decorative accessory, but an objet d'art that retains its value over time.
Technical Details and Craftsmanship:
- Origin: Qum (Iran).
- Master Knotter: Signed H. Abdolhosseini (signature visible on the original tag and on the back).
- Dimensions: 218x140 cm (Total area: 3.05 m²).
- Knot Density: Approximately 420,000 knots per m², ensuring extraordinary design definition and a compact structure.
- Materials: High-quality Kork wool with silk inserts that add lustre to the floral details.
- Design: Elegant central medallion on a ruby red background, with intricate floral motifs in shades of cobalt blue, beige, and ivory.
Item Condition: The rug is in EXCELLENT condition (like new). It has been used very little in a smoke- and pet-free environment, stored with extreme care and protected by special paper. The fringes are intact, neat, and clean.
Price and Valuation: Gallery purchase value: approximately €1,800. Asking price: €670.
Note: The asking price is exceptional considering the density of the knots and the master's signature. This is a rare opportunity for collectors or anyone wishing to furnish their home with a piece of authentic Persian luxury at a fraction of the market price.
Contact: The rug can be viewed in person in Rome to experience its incredible softness and vibrant colors. Additional photos or details on the certificate (Series No. 1550) are available.
