Description from the seller
We present an exclusive antique Ghom rug, an exceptional piece due to its artistic design and extraordinary level of detail. Made in India between 1930 and 1940, this rug reflects the inspiration of the ancient Persian Ghom workshops, with a highly decorative composition and a unique motif full of scenes, figures, animals, and traditional flora.
Fully handmade in wool on cotton, it stands out for its exceptional workmanship and its elegant combination of deep, warm colors. The central design features a spectacular tree of life surrounded by figures, animals, and an exceptional decoration inspired by ancient Eastern manuscripts. The rug incorporates an exclusive decorative border with Arabic letters inspired by traditional Qur'anic calligraphy, adding even more character and authenticity to the piece.
The rug has a density of approximately 7 × 7 knots per square centimeter, equivalent to about 490,000 knots per square meter, which demonstrates the fine craftsmanship and high technical level of the piece.
It is in very good condition for its age. It shows no tears or significant damage. It only needs professional cleaning to refresh and further enhance the original colors.
