Knot density of oriental carpets
The quality of a carpet is reflected in its fineness, which is defined by the knot density - the number of knots per square metre. This measure is not only an indicator of the precision of the craftsmanship, but also has a significant influence on the overall quality of the carpet. A higher knot density not only allows the creation of complex patterns, but also demonstrates the masterful skill of the craftsmen. The skilful knotting of fine knots creates a rug that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also impresses with its robustness and cultural significance. The knot density of our carpets can be found on the product page under the properties.

The production of a Qum silk carpet
The production of Qom carpets is an elaborate process based on traditional craftsmanship and meticulous manual labour. The process begins with the design of the rug and the selection of a pattern as a template. Qom rugs are made from pure silk, which is why the selection of yarns is of the utmost importance. These yarns are carefully dyed in the desired colours, requiring special skills to ensure that the colours precisely match the desired pattern. Each one is carefully crafted by hand over a period of months to years and is a true masterpiece.
