Qom in pure silk

This one-of-a-kind piece in beige combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 1,000.000 knots per m², the elaborate workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine execution of the details. At 150 × 100 cm it works well as a small living room rug. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic texture give any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a piece of furnishing – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

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.

Material

The silk of the pile of this Qom in pure silk makes the colours of the pattern glow in different facets, depending on how the light falls. It turns this Qom in pure silk into a real jewel and creates an atmosphere in the room that is cosy and at the same time very elegant and refined. Silk is obtained by hand from the cocoons of the silkworm. Because the individual silk filaments are extremely long, very fine yarns can be spun that are still tear-resistant despite their low weight. This fine yarn allows smaller knots to be tied and therefore more delicate patterns to be created. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk.

In this pure silk Qom, even the foundation has been made from pure silk. Because the material of the weft and warp threads is so thin yet hard-wearing, a particularly fine knotting – and therefore a particularly fine pattern – is possible.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Qom in pure silk. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 36. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partially restored, condition. The pile has grown only a little thinner over the years, has brownish stains and is torn in three places over a length of roughly 3 cm. The edges of the rug have also suffered somewhat in places and could do with a repair. We have not fully restored this Qom in pure silk because we feel it has a special presence just as it is. If that is what you would like, we will of course carry on restoring the rug for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
