Large Oriental Rug Iran Ghoum, 4.07 x 2.45 M - Kurk Wool, Hand Knotted,

This piece of dimensions: 4.07 X 2.45 meters is hand-knotted, made between 1960 and 1970, is in excellent condition. Wool and kurk * ghom rugs emerged in iran around 1920-1930 under the impetus of kashan artisans and merchants. Our model perfectly illustrates this tradition with exceptional wool, fine and precise patterns, as well as harmonious colors. It also shares many similarities with kashan rugs, particularly in the medallions and borders. Made with a tight persian knot on fine wool, ghom rugs are distinguished by their specific decorations. This model features a field covered with delicate botehs in shades of apricot, straw yellow, vegetable green, pale blue and orange, evoking a refined persian garden. The boteh, a zoroastrian symbol of immortality, is said to have been inspired by zoroaster's sacred cypress, a bearer of light and spirituality. This rug, marketed under the names ghom, qom, or qum, is a magnificent example of this art, combining classicism with rare nuances.
