FAQs

Qum, located south of Tehran, is a relatively modern centre for Persian rug production, rising to prominence primarily in the early 20th century. Weavers in Qum adapted traditional workshop designs from Kashan and Isfahan, creating finely knotted pieces using both silk and high-grade wool.

Authentic Qum carpets are hand-knotted by skilled artisans using high knot densities on cotton or silk foundations. The pile typically consists of fine wool, sometimes accented with silk highlights to define intricate floral or boteh motifs.

Authentication involves examining the knot density on the reverse, the quality of natural dyes, and the fineness of the weave. Qum rugs typically feature precise symmetry, short pile, and distinct signature panels or master weavers marks in the border.

An antique rug serves as a textural anchor in contemporary spaces, pairing well with minimalist furniture and neutral colour palettes. It can be layered over larger natural fibre flooring or placed centrally to ground a seating arrangement.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning every few years, and rotation to ensure even wear. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent fading of natural dyes.
