Incredible Room Sized Chinese Silk Rug in the Manner of a Persian Rug. One of the finest-looking rugs we've ever had the pleasure of seeing in our auctions, this piece is dominated by a stunning blue field in a rectangular oval, where the sunburst circle of life medallion and two teardrops on either long side therefor pop with remarkable clarity. The cream, green, red, light blue, black, and tan tones reappear in sharp palace latticework designs in the border and pansy garden motifs in the four curved inner field corners. That eye-dazzling field blue returns for the outermost border, with tiny floral and vine shapes acting as a division between the main body and the fringe. A signature is woven into a cartouche on one end of the piece, indicating the pride the maker took in constructing this piece by hand, which shows distinctive techniques and designs often seen in the works out of Qom.
