Qom

Craftsmanship and timeless elegance come together in this rug in cream white and light red. A knot density of around 350,000 knots per m² makes the elaborate workmanship visible – right down to the finely executed details. At 328 × 208 cm it is perfectly at home as a large living room rug. It shows to equally good effect in the dining room beneath a table for six to eight people. Colouring and texture give any room a homely, exclusive note – a one-of-a-kind piece that will last for years.

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. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a whole range of impressive qualities: thanks to the wool's natural oil content, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.

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 cleaned thoroughly and is in good but unrestored condition. The fringes could do with a repair. The edges are damaged in places. The pile is evenly worn. In some places a few white threads can be seen. That is entirely normal in older rugs. These are the knot ends of the weft and warp weave, which work their way to the surface over the years. Structurally this is not a significant problem. We have not restored this Qom because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course gladly restore the rug for you. Either way, this Qom will give you pleasure for decades to come.
