Qom Aviary Garden Ivory

Qom, Iran's holy city, emerged in the twentieth century as a centre for the most refined Persian weaving, renowned for silk-foundation pieces of extraordinary fineness and lyrical pictorial compositions that rival miniature painting in their delicacy. This bespoke hand-knotted wool rug presents a charming aviary tableau across a luminous ivory ground, where four horizontal registers of brilliantly plumaged songbirds—rendered in cerulean, rose, saffron, and verdant hues—perch upon slender flowering branches, their forms echoed by soft taupe shadows that lend subtle dimensionality to the field. Lush floral sprays of cabbage roses, cornflowers, and trailing foliage anchor the lower corners, while an elegant scalloped cartouche border in champagne gold frames the central scene with classical arabesque scrollwork and delicate vine motifs. Available in sizes ranging from 3×5 ft to 12×18 ft, this made-to-order piece carries the gentle poetry of a Persian garden in spring—equally suited to a collector's private study or a light-filled conservatory where its avian inhabitants may sing in perpetual stillness.
