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 pile of this Qom was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. The pattern has been worked in pure silk, so that the colours of this Qom's pattern shine in different nuances depending on how the light falls. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels water droplets and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound. Silk is harvested 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 still tear-resistant despite their low weight. This fine yarn allows smaller rug knots to be tied and therefore finer patterns to be created. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk.

The weft and warp threads of this Qom are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

Condition

This Qom has had admirers before you. It was knotted around 1970. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but unrestored condition. The fringes could do with a repair. We have not restored this Qom because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If that is what you would like, we will of course gladly restore the rug for you. Either way, this Qom will bring you pleasure for decades to come.
