The city of Qum did not begin creating rugs until the first part of the twentieth century. Its Persian rug weavers combined ancient silk Persian rug traditions with the many different influences that passed through the city. This allowed them to create designs that are unique and easily recognizable in the world of fine rugs.
This magnificent silk rug uses a traditional medallion design, only the oval field and oval-shaped central medallion give it a more Oriental rug flavor. Its garden design and use of contrast reflect ancient weaving traditions that date back to the 16th century. This combination of influences and inspiration culminates in a piece that is perfect for a formal or traditional room style. It is the perfect touch for contemporary designs, too.
The colors of this vintage Persian Silk Qum rug are bright and vibrant, enhanced by the luster of the silk fibers that catch the natural light in the room. It is a smaller rug that could be used to create a charming vignette or cozy reading nook. You could also use it as a piece of artwork on the wall. Regardless of how you choose to display it, this breathtaking Qum rig will make a statement and your home.
By looking at the red line in the photo above, you can see that the angle of the stitch is parallel to the weave of the fabric. It is straight up-and-down. All the silk stitches used to fill the background of the Medallion are completely vertical.
Now I have to fill this little area in the background, and so from this point, I turn the frame again 180 degrees, so that the design is now upright, and I continue stitching from left to right, to fill that small irregular shape of the background.
I find it easier to work a smaller section of flat silk and then couch it over with the gold, rather than filling all the silk in the whole background first, and then working all the gold. Not only does alternating silk and gold provide a bit of variety in stitching, but it also secures the silk right away, rather than leaving it exposed to snagging.
I really enjoy your posts! Your presentation is great! What could seem so complicated comes across as possible by watching how you explain the process. Since I create period costumes, I have always been interested in embroidery work and have done it more as a hobby. Watching your demonstrations with the silkwork and goldwork has encouraged me to try my hand at this and apply it to my costumes. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for embroidery with all of us!
I am soooooo in love with this pillow case. It's the best silk pillowcase I have ever tried. It does not make me sweat like other silk pillow cases have made me sweat in the past. This is a soft, thin & silky pillowcase that was perfectly designed and made for excellent sleep. I will be ordering in other colors. Love this pillowcase!!!
