Ghom

Ghom rugs, also known as Qom or Qum rugs, originate from the city of Qom (also spelled Ghom or Kum) in central Iran. Qom is renowned for producing some of the finest handmade Persian rugs and carpets in the world. The city has a rich history of carpet weaving, and its weavers are particularly known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail. Ghom rugs are typically made using high-quality materials, including fine silk and/or wool. One of the distinguishing features of Ghom rugs is the intricate designs and delicate patterns that often include floral motifs, medallions, and intricate curvilinear patterns. The use of silk in Ghom rugs contributes to their lustrous appearance and soft texture. Artisans in Qom have been weaving rugs for centuries, and their expertise has been passed down through generations. The weaving process involves intricate knotting techniques, and it can take months or even years to complete a single rug, depending on its size, complexity, and level of detail. Ghom rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for their exquisite beauty, fine craftsmanship, and cultural significance. The city's long-standing tradition of carpet weaving has firmly established Qom as a center for producing some of the most luxurious and finely woven rugs in the Persian carpet industry.
