10' x 14' Wool and Silk Oriental Rug | Burgundy Qom Floral Design | Brand New

This is a finely knotted wool and silk piece in one of the most useful room sizes we stock, and it has never been on a floor. The field is a deep burgundy, worked edge to edge with a formal Qom-style floral drawing, and the silk is used exactly where it should be: in the petals, the leaf tips and the small blossoms, so the pattern lifts and changes as you walk around it. The wool pile is dense and full, the fringe is clean and even, and the selvedges are tight. It ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming that it is 100% hand-knotted, and it sits comfortably among our other 10' x 14' Oriental rugs as a formal, high-detail option rather than a casual one.

Design and Motifs

The drawing is a true all-over composition with no central medallion, built from thin scrolling vines that run the full length of the field and carry alternating palmettes, multi petal rosettes, feathered leaves and small bouquet clusters. Look closely at the field detail and you can see how the pattern mirrors itself across the long axis, so the left and right halves answer each other blossom for blossom while the individual flowers change color from cream to blush to soft gold. Small leaf sprigs fill the negative space between the vines, which is what keeps a burgundy ground this large from reading as empty. The border system is a triple arrangement: a wide sage green main band with a continuous meandering vine and large rosette heads, flanked by a blush pink secondary band of paired flower sprays, with narrow ivory guard stripes outlined in dark brown that separate each element cleanly. The corners resolve properly, with the main border vine turning through all 4 corners instead of being cut off, which is the first place an experienced buyer checks.

The Burgundy, Sage and Blush Color Story

The field is a deep wine burgundy that leans toward oxblood under warm lamplight and reads almost black-red in raking daylight, giving the pale florals a great deal of contrast to work against. Sitting against it is the main border in a muted sage or celadon green, soft and slightly dusty rather than bright, which is an unusual and very elegant pairing with this depth of red. The pink band between them is a powdery blush, closer to antique rose than to a modern pink, and it repeats in the flower heads scattered across the field. Above those three, the palette runs through ivory, cream, pale gold and apricot in the petals, with olive and forest green in the leaves and small strikes of pale sky blue and near black at the flower centers for definition. The silk carries the lightest tones, so the ivory and gold blossoms are the elements that shine. This is a warm, formal, layered palette that does its best work with dark woods, cream walls, brass and traditional upholstery.

Origin and Weaving Quality

This rug was made in China, where the best workshops have spent decades building a reputation for high knot count wool and silk weaving executed to classical Qom cartoons. Being clear about origin matters, and if you are weighing this against other pieces in the category, our guide on what actually separates a Persian rug from a broader Oriental rug explains the distinction without the sales talk. What you are buying here is the weave itself: a cotton foundation pulled tight, a short even clip that lets the curved vine lines stay crisp instead of blurring, and enough knots per square inch to render flower heads no larger than a fingernail with 4 or 5 separate colors inside them. The back, visible in the folded corner photograph, shows a fine regular grid with the pattern reading clearly through to the reverse, which is the honest proof of hand-knotting. Handled well, a rug built this way is a multi-generation piece.
