Silk Ghom carpet

The silk of the pile of this Ghom lets the colors of the pattern shine in different nuances depending on the incidence of light.

Silk is extracted by hand from the cocoons of the silk moth. Since the individual silk threads are extremely long, very thin yarns can be produced that are tear-resistant despite their low weight. The thin yarn can be used to tie smaller carpet knots and thus create finer patterns. For this reason, the finest carpets in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk. With this Ghom even the underlay was made of pure silk.

The colors red and dark blue dominate the overall impression.

The background and the border of this Ghom are red.

The carpet bears many signatures knotted into the edge.

In the middle is an Islamic medallion in dark blue with a pattern of birds and different types of flowers.

Note: The brightness of the carpet colors is perceived differently depending on the viewing angle.
