AI-assisted summary
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 1950-1960, this rug reflects the inspiration of the ancient Persian Ghom workshops, with a highly decorative composition and a unique drawing full of scenes, figures, animals, and traditional vegetation.
Woven entirely by hand in wool on cotton, it stands out for its high quality of craftsmanship and its elegant combination of deep, warm colors. The central design features 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 script, 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 standard of the piece.
It is in very good condition for its age. It has no breaks or major flaws. It only needs professional cleaning to refresh and further enhance the original colors.
