Persian Qum Silk
Stock No. SY-100-000893
Size(m): 1.96×1.30
This Persian carpet handmade carpet from the city of gum measures 1.96 x 1.30 metres, adorned with a rich, light pastel blue base field colour intricately weaves together symbols that transcend mere aesthetics. The rambling vines and myriad flowers symbolize growth, vitality, and the interconnectedness of life.
At the center, a round motif radiates with leaves, transitioning from deep earthy hues to delicate grays and ivories. This central medallion, echoed in the spandrels pointing toward it, signifies a sacred space—a realm protected by the outer guard border. This border acts as both a boundary and a unifying force, encapsulating the carpet's intricate patterns and reflecting cultural notions of unity and protection.
The central round shape, radiating patterns, and the use of varying colors in the central medallion and spandrels of a Persian carpet often convey deep symbolic meanings:
- Central Medallion: The central round shape, known as the medallion, can represent unity, wholeness, and harmony. It often serves as the focal point, symbolizing a center of importance or a spiritual core.
- Radiating Patterns:The radiating patterns from the central medallion may depict energy, emanating outward and creating a sense of dynamism. This can symbolize the spread of positive influences, knowledge, or spirituality.
- Leaves and Varying Colors: Leaves at the end of circles and the transition of colors from dark to light may represent the changing seasons of life, growth, and transformation. Each color may carry specific symbolism; for example, earthy tones could signify grounding, while lighter shades may represent purity or spiritual enlightenment.
The profound impact of this carpet is heightened by the propitious boteh motif peppered throughout the main guard border, symbolizing fertility and continuity in life.
The Boteh motif often takes the form of teardrop, flame, or pine cone shapes, arranged in a repeating, all-over pattern throughout the rug. As a representation of growth and renewal, the Boteh design not only adds aesthetic appeal to Persian rugs but also carries a profound cultural meaning cherished by rug weavers.
In Persian carpets, intricate details and patterns are not merely decorative but hold cultural, spiritual, and symbolic significance, creating a piece that goes beyond its utilitarian purpose to tell a story and convey deeper meanings.
In essence, this Persian carpet is a masterpiece that tells a story of growth, unity, protection, and spiritual significance—a testament to the artistry and cultural richness woven into each intricate knot.
