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

This Qom in pure silk has had admirers before you. It was knotted around 36. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with great care. Despite its age, it is therefore in very good condition.
