Description from the seller

Ghom Omar Khayyam Rug – 100% silk on silk – Knotted by hand – India – 1960/1970

We present an extraordinary Ghom oriental rug, Omar Khayyam model, Persian-style, attributed to India and handmade in silk on silk.

Its design draws inspiration from Persian artistic and poetic tradition and bears the name of Omar Khayyam (1048–1131), renowned Persian poet, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher, world-famous for his Rubaiyat poems, dedicated to reflections on life, love and the passage of time.

This magnificent piece stands out for the extraordinary fineness of its weave, the delicacy of its details, and its excellent craftsmanship, with a declared density of approximately 730,000 knots per square meter, equivalent to about 73 knots per cm².

Condition and conservation
