Precision Woven
Fine, uniform pattern clarity with a clean edge.
Qum, the sacred city south of Tehran, emerged in the twentieth century as Iran's premier centre for silk weaving, celebrated for extraordinarily fine knotting and jewel-toned palettes that rival the complexity of miniature painting.
This bespoke machine-woven interpretation in lustrous bamboo silk captures the celebrated Qum compartmental garden format—known locally as kheshti or panel design—where each bordered rectangle presents a distinct universe: prayer niches with floral sprays, radiant medallions in coral and turquoise, tree of life vignettes, peacocks flanking a central cartouche, and serene mountain landscapes, all unified by a deep burgundy lattice framework and an intricate outer border alive with scrolling vines and boteh.
The palette moves through warm madder reds, soft sage greens, luminous ivory grounds, and accents of sky blue and gold, lending prismatic depth across the field. Available in multiple sizes from 3×5 ft to 12×18 ft, this made-to-order piece channels the scholarly refinement of a collector's cabinet, suited to interiors where layered narrative and chromatic richness are paramount.
