Description from the seller

We present an exclusive ancient Ghom rug, a remarkable piece noted for its artistic design and extraordinary level of detail. Made in India between 1950 and 1960, this rug reflects the inspiration of the ancient Persian Ghom workshops, with a highly decorative composition and a unique drawing filled with scenes, figures, animals, and traditional vegetation.

Woven 100% by hand in wool on cotton, it stands out for its high quality of workmanship 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 includes an exclusive decorative border with Arabic lettering inspired by traditional Quranic 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, demonstrating the fine craftsmanship and the high technical level of the piece.

It is in very good condition for its age. It has no breaks or major defects. It only needs a professional cleaning to refresh and further enhance the original colors.
