Striped designs from this region are uncommon — they appear in semi-antique work from the mid-twentieth century, when individual ateliers occasionally departed from the dominant medallion repertoire and revisited older Persian banded compositions. This piece, knotted some fifty to seventy years ago, is one of those quieter Qum exceptions: a measured, longitudinal design rather than a central figure.\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;\"\u003eWool with Silk Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile is hand-knotted in wool, with silk drawn through as fine highlights — a technique that brings selective lustre into otherwise matte fields. The silk catches light along stripe edges and small motifs; the wool carries the body. The palette runs beige and warm brown, with a band of blue running through the composition. The combination reads as restrained, neither shiny nor flat — a vintage Qum that fits living rooms more easily than dedicated collector display.\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;\"\u003ePlacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 207 × 130 cm the piece anchors a seating group in a small to medium living room, sits well in front of a sofa, or works in an entryway or hall. Wool pile means everyday foot traffic is unproblematic; the silk highlights tolerate the same use. Use a non-slip pad on smooth flooring; suitable above underfloor heating. The longitudinal striped composition reads best in a placement that lets the bands run with, rather than across, the main sightline.\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;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:15px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:35%;color:#666;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e207 × 130 cm (4 × 7 ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;color:#666;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eQum (Ghom), Iran\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;color:#666;\"\u003ePile material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eWool with silk highlights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;color:#666;\"\u003eFoundation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eCotton warp and weft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;color:#666;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eStriped longitudinal composition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;color:#666;\"\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBeige, brown, blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;color:#666;\"\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSemi-antique, approx. 50–70 years, very good condition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;color:#666;\"\u003eUnderfloor heating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSuitable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003e1stDibs Recognised Dealer · Spencer (2021)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDjoharian carries the \u003cstrong\u003eRecognised Dealer\u003c\/strong\u003e badge on 1stDibs since 2013, with a 5.0\/5 verified rating.
