A vintage Persian Silk Quom carpet. A navy twenty lobed lozenge medallion centers the scarlet field with its boggling array of layered arabesques, palmettes and flowers. The medallion lobes are edged in curing laurel segments. The major navy border shows palmettes and curving flowering vines, and there are 18 patterned minor stripes. This truly magnificent central Persian finely knotted silk over size carpet is fit for anyone who seeks to impress. Finding a proper room is another matter, but the execution is precise, the material is opulent and the effect is shimmering. Build your residence around this rug!
