Qum carpets originate from the city of Qum, a renowned centre for carpet production in Iran, located south of Tehran. In this city, which is known for its carpet-making tradition, high-quality carpets are hand-knotted by skilled craftsmen on traditional looms.

These carpets are often made of the finest silk, which is famous for its softness and lustre, and occasionally high-quality wool and cotton are also used. Qum rugs are characterised by a wide range of patterns and designs, including traditional Persian motifs such as floral patterns, medallions and arabesque designs. The colour palette ranges from vibrant reds and soft blues to neutral beige tones.

With their high knot density, Ghom rugs guarantee exceptional attention to detail and durability. Due to their quality craftsmanship and aesthetic value, Ghom carpets are among the most sought-after types of carpet in Iran and worldwide.
