Qum Silk Carpet
Qum silk carpets originate from the historic city of Qum (Qom) in central Iran and are celebrated as some of the finest and most refined rugs in the Persian weaving tradition. Emerging primarily in the 20th century, Qum quickly gained international recognition for producing exceptionally delicate, high-knot-density carpets distinguished by their precision, elegance, and luminous materials.
Unlike tribal or village rugs, Qum silk carpets are characterized by meticulous craftsmanship, intricate curvilinear designs, and perfectly balanced compositions. Common motifs include medallions, floral arabesques, garden layouts, pictorial scenes, and classical Persian patterns, all rendered with remarkable clarity and refinement.
This carpet is handwoven in Iran using a pure silk pile, often paired with a silk foundation, allowing for extraordinary detail and a smooth, lustrous surface. The fine silk fibers reflect light beautifully, giving the rug a subtle glow and an almost jewel-like appearance. The high knot density enables crisp outlines and complex patterns that remain visually sharp even at close range.
The color palette is achieved through carefully controlled dyeing processes traditionally used in Qum workshops. Dyes are selected for stability, brilliance, and harmony, ensuring long-lasting visual impact without compromising the silk's delicate structure.
More than a decorative piece, a Qum silk carpet is a true work of art. It represents the height of Persian weaving finesse, combining artistic mastery with technical precision. Owning a Qum silk rug is an investment in elegance, heritage, and timeless beauty—an enduring expression of Iran's most refined carpet-making tradition.

Commission Your Own
This piece is one of a kind — but the artisans who wove it can create a new rug in its spirit, hand-knotted to your exact dimensions.
Every hand-knotted rug begins with a single knot.
Skilled artisans tie each knot entirely by hand, one at a time, using techniques that
have been passed down through generations. Depending on the size and intricacy of
the design, a room-sized rug may contain millions of individually tied knots.
For a single weaver, completing one masterpiece can take one to two years—or even
longer—making every rug a remarkable work of art, craftsmanship, and patience.
