A mid-20th-century Persian silk Souf Qum carpet from around 1940, measuring approximately 91.6 × 152.5 cm (about 3'0" × 5'0"). The composition is a floral garden design over an ivory field, framed by a gold-toned border, woven entirely in silk in the Souf relief technique characteristic of the highest tier of Qum production.
