A fine Qum silk is one of the most demanding pieces a master weaver can produce: every knot is silk, the design must be drawn at exceptional density, and the slightest irregularity is visible against the lustrous ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted in \u003cstrong\u003eQum, Iran\u003c\/strong\u003e, approximately \u003cstrong\u003e30 to 40 years ago\u003c\/strong\u003e, from \u003cstrong\u003e100% pure natural silk in both pile and foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e at a density of \u003cstrong\u003eapproximately 900,000 to 1,000,000 knots per m² (580 to 645 knots per inch²)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eThe Garden of Paradise — Colour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the classical \u003cstrong\u003eGarden of Paradise\u003c\/strong\u003e vocabulary — a Persian visual idiom that translates the Quranic description of paradise into textile, with flowering rose bushes, songbirds and a paradise garden in tiered, symmetrical arrangement. A luminous \u003cstrong\u003egold-mustard field\u003c\/strong\u003e carries dense bouquets of roses in \u003cstrong\u003eold rose, deep bordeaux and cream\u003c\/strong\u003e, with foliage and stems in \u003cstrong\u003egreen\u003c\/strong\u003e and small accents of \u003cstrong\u003elight blue\u003c\/strong\u003e; songbirds animate the upper field. A deep \u003cstrong\u003ered border\u003c\/strong\u003e with floral scrollwork frames the field, set off by fine cream and pale-blue guard stripes. The silk lustre shifts the whole palette as the light moves — the gold ground turning from honey to pale amber across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e155 × 100 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e (1.55 m²) this is a focused small format — a piece for considered placement and close looking.
