Qom silk carpets

Qom silk is one of the finest silks in the world. 

The holy city of Qom is about 100 km south of Tehran. Although carpet production only began here around 100 years ago, Qom carpets are considered one of the most impressive and valuable examples of fine Persian carpet art. Our Qom carpets are made exclusively from the best raw materials available.

Qom carpets have a very distinct style and display a variety of patterns, from idyllic landscapes to stylized floral medallions, ancient Persian hunting scenes, historical events, images of winged lions, dragons, birds, to prayer rugs with various religious motifs and themes. The extreme level of detail makes them almost look like real paintings. Because of their often smaller size, Qom rugs are not only used as rugs but are also hung on walls and valued as decorative tapestry art. Making a Qom rug takes an incredible amount of time and skill, which makes it understandable that Qom rugs are more commonly found in smaller sizes, although they sometimes exist in larger sizes. The rugs come in breathtakingly beautiful color combinations and are also available in colors rare for Persian rugs such as light green and turquoise blue, which have been introduced by a new generation of designers. The fact that carpet production in Qom is relatively new is quite unique and therefore the colors and patterns are developed primarily to meet Western demand in a way that other, more traditional carpet producing areas never have . Qom carpets remain among the most sought-after of all carpet types for collectors worldwide.
