APPROX 30-50 YR OLD PERSIAN QUM FINELY KNOTTED SMALL FRAMED SILK RUG 20'' x 24'': Approx 30-50 yr. old Persian Qum finely knotted small framed silk rug. This Qum is incredibly finely woven in an intricate classic prayer rug format. The white ground of the Mihrab or niche has a vase of flowers at the middle base of it with vines that have sprays of flowers and leaves that fill in around the central bouquet. Atop the bouquet is a fan like flower holding leaves and vines that create the look of a crown. Above that are vines, some forming a ''cloud band'' design. St the top and sides of the niche the field is pale green, filled with flowers and vines. There are pale green guard borders and a deep red main border that picks up on the red flowers in the field. Each end has an extra border design woven in silk and gold thread in a raised pattern on a flat background. This and the signature cartouche are extra details that speaks to the quality of this gem of a rug. Framed measures 39 1/2'' x 30 1/4''
