Qom / Iran
Qom is a city in central Iran and is about 150 kilometres from the capital Tehran. Carpet weaving began here at the beginning of the 20th century. The weavers of the city of qom are among the most professional carpet weavers in the world. Their reputation for luxurious silk carpets is based on their very dense weave and fine quality. These carpets are known for their diverse and artistic designs, including floral motifs, geometric patterns, medallions and stylised ornaments. The patterns are often designed in vibrant colours.
Knotted by hand
Experienced craftsmen in Ghom and the surrounding villages make this rug by hand in a labour-intensive process. Due to the fine fibres and delicate nature of silk, this process requires a high degree of skill and patience. Ghom silk carpets are often regarded as true works of art and are highly valued for their craftsmanship, quality and cultural significance. Knotting a silk carpet is a demanding and time-consuming art that has been perfected by generations of carpet weavers.
Pure silk
Silk is the luxury fibre for the manufacture of carpets. The production of the fibre itself is complex and cost-intensive. Silk fibre is one of the most hard-wearing natural fibres in carpet production. Its robustness and soft feel make it the ideal material for carpets. Due to the fact that the silk fibre is very thin, the knotting density of these carpets is particularly high and the typical pile height is low. This gives the motifs and knotted patterns a particularly intense effect. The lustre typical of silk gives the carpets the special shimmer for which the material is known.
Carpet care
To maintain the appearance of the carpet, regular vacuuming with a gentle hoover is recommended to remove dust and dirt from the fibres. Stains should be gently dabbed immediately with a clean, white cloth dampened with cold water to prevent damage. In addition, rotating the carpet regularly will help to promote even wear and prolong its life.
