Old Qom
Craftsmanship and timeless elegance come together in this rug in cream white, rust red and blue-grey. With approx. 420,000 knots per m², the workmanship is correspondingly painstaking, as you can see in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. Its 211 × 145 cm make it a living room rug. It also looks splendid in the bedroom beneath the bed. Colouring and texture give any room a homely, exclusive note – a one-of-a-kind piece that will last for years.

Origin
Qom is a relatively young provenance for Persian rugs. The city of Qom (also Ghom, Gom, Ghoum, Goum) lies in central Iran, about 100 km south of the capital Tehran. As there was no old knotting tradition in Qom to build on, patterns were and still are adopted from other weaving regions. Over time, however, a style of its own has grown out of this. The silk rugs from Qom are today among the most famous and finest rugs in the world. The field of rugs from Qom often has a light ground decorated with finely drawn medallion patterns or all-over boteh or vase designs.This Old Qom is around 76 years old and a true collector's piece.
Material
The pile of this Old Qom was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin content of the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is thus naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and dampens sound.The weft and warp threads of this Old Qom are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suitable for a hard-wearing foundation.
Condition
This Old Qom has had admirers before you. It was knotted around 1950. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. It is therefore – despite its age – in very good condition.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
