Silk Qum — Mir Mehdi Signature

This 10'2" × 13'8" Silk Qum is an exceptional Persian hand-knotted rug woven entirely from pure silk. The design features a grand central medallion surrounded by delicate floral scrolls, elegant arabesques, and finely detailed borders. The warm rose field creates a soft and luxurious foundation, while turquoise, gold, ivory, beige, and soft blue accents give the rug a refined, jewel-like beauty.

The composition is graceful and highly formal, with a large layered medallion that draws the eye to the center and creates a sense of balance, harmony, and grandeur. The fine silk pile gives the surface a luminous sheen, allowing the colors and details to shift beautifully with the light. Its large size makes it ideal for a formal living room, dining room, grand sitting area, private collection, or any elegant space where the rug can become the main artistic focal point.

A special detail of this rug is the woven Persian signature near the fringe, which reads “Iran, Qum, Mir Mehdi.” In fine Persian carpets, a woven signature is an important mark of origin, workshop identity, and authenticity. Sayyed Murtaza Mir Mehdi is considered one of the most famous and respected rug makers from Qum, Iran. His rugs are known for exceptional beauty, extremely fine craftsmanship, high knot counts, and the use of the finest silk. In true pure silk Qum rugs by Mir Mehdi, the warp, weft, and pile are all silk, giving the rug its remarkable softness, detail, and luminous surface.

Mir Mehdi is recognized as one of Persia’s grandmaster weavers, and many of his pieces are admired by collectors and displayed in fine galleries and museum-level collections around the world. His name adds strong cultural value, artistic importance, and collectible appeal to this rug.
