Hello all. New to the forum. Been a collector and admirer of carpets for a long time.
Haven’t been active for a while so out of touch with today’s market. Its time to lighten the load so I’m selling a few pieces I have had for years. Some so long I’ve forgotten the details on many of them.
. Can anyone tell me what I have here? I think Qum?
3’ 7 inches x 5’ 9 inches Silk foundation. Wool pile with silk highlights. And Signature
Excellent condition. Unusual background color. Thanks for any help.

Thanks I bought it a a small auction about 10 years ago. I think it was listed as an Isfahan. It is quite nice. What do you think the retail value range today is? I realize no one wants to pay "retail"

I see similarities in a large Qom carpet we have. Are you sure it's full silk and not part silk, part wool? Looks like a good quality piece, not my favourite colours but I'm sure it'll find a lot of interest.

Our Qom shown below (the animals are knotted in silk):

It looks like Qum but it is from Isfahan. It would be a wonderful rug but the combination pink with red is very daring.

I think it says "wool with silk pile" in the description above.

It is a Isfahan, difficult color combination, but still quite fun to look at. These rugs where made in the late 1980 and early 1990. Due to the quite good condition I would say it should bring around $ 1000 - 1500. But you need to find someone who likes the color.

The way those elegantly drawn birds' wings dominate the field is quite impressive. I'm not a (non-antique) Isphahan fan myself, but if you're not in a hurry to sell, and put it e.g. on ebay with lots of photos and close-up of some birds (for buy it now or with best offer), I'd imagine someone will finally fall in love with it.
