FAQs

Qum rugs originate from the holy city of Qum in central Iran, where rug weaving expanded rapidly in the early twentieth century. These rugs are distinguished by fine knotting, complex botanical or geometric repeating motifs such as the boteh, and a high level of detail influenced by classical Persian weaving traditions.

Qum carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade wool, silk, or a wool-and-silk blend tied onto a durable cotton or silk warp and weft foundation. Natural or high-quality dyes are utilised to create detailed, crisp patterns with clear colour definition.

Authentic Qum pieces display an exceptionally high knot density, creating precise, sharp motifs visible on both the face and reverse. The back of the rug shows distinct hand-tied knots and natural irregularities, alongside a finely finished selvedge and integrated fringe ends.

A fine Persian rug acts as an anchor for a room, balancing minimalist or contemporary furniture with complex historical pattern. Placing the rug on modern timber, stone, or neutral polished concrete floors provides contrast and visual weight.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to prevent fiber distortion. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, and use a dedicated non-slip rug underlay.
