The Arts and Crafts movement was an international initiative in decorative and fine arts that originated in Britain and thrived in Europe and North America from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century.
This stunning vintage Arts and Crafts design features a Silk Persian Qum adorned with vibrant floral medallions, arranged in a kaleidoscopic repeating pattern that creates a captivating visual effect.
This exquisite Persian Silk Qum embodies the splendid beauty of Victorian design, elevating neoclassical figures to elaborate heights. The rich cherry background is embellished with radiant floral patterns and an ivory palette, incorporating soft tones of gold and grey that contrast beautifully with deep indigo, giving the design its character. Intricate blossoms serve as striking accents, filling the spaces between dramatic acanthus octo foils and large-scale medallions adorned with striking roses and delicate botanical motifs.
The borders of this exceptional Persian Silk Qum are filled with luxurious floral designs, creating a dramatic contrast against the grand ivory field. These borders incorporate shades of mauve and gold, adding elegance and refinement. This exotic piece has a commanding presence, harmonising proportion, colour, and decorative elements to achieve the extravagant elegance of the Victorian era.
