Description from the seller

We present an exclusive antique Ghom rug, an exceptional piece for its artistic design and extraordinary level of detail.

Made in India between 1950 and 1960, this rug reflects the inspiration of the old Persian Ghom workshops, with a highly decorative composition and a unique drawing filled with scenes, figures, animals and traditional vegetation.

100% handmade in wool on cotton, it stands out for its high quality of workmanship and its elegant combination of deep, warm colors.

The central design represents a spectacular Tree of Life surrounded by figures, animals and exceptional decoration inspired by ancient Oriental 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 breaks or major damage. It only requires professional cleaning to refresh and further enhance the original colors.
