Qom in pure silk
This one-of-a-kind piece in beige and rust red combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 800,000 knots per m², the elaborate workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine execution of the details. At 200 × 137 cm, it is well suited as a rug for the bedroom or study. It also cuts a fine figure in a seating area. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic texture lend 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 in the pile of this Qom in pure silk makes the colours of the pattern shine in ever-changing shades, depending on how the light falls. It turns this pure-silk Qom into a true jewel and brings an atmosphere to the room that is cosy and at the same time highly elegant and refined. Silk is obtained by hand from the cocoons of the silk moth. Because the individual silk filaments are extremely long, very fine yarns can be made that are light in weight and still tear-resistant. This fine yarn allows smaller rug knots to be tied, and so finer 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.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.
We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.
That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
