Qom in pure silk
Every rug is a one-of-a-kind piece – this example of the Qom type in pure silk comes from Persia. At 100 × 100 cm it works well as a bedside rug. It also cuts a fine figure in the study. The pure silk underlines its individual character. The knot density is given as 800,000–900,000 knots per m².

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.
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.
