Persian Silk Qum
Qum handmade rugs combine and offer a wide range of a variety of styles. The very fine silk used in these rugs makes them distinctive, allowing the weavers to create very refined and intricately detailed curvilinear designs with floral motifs around a medallion, whether in traditionally inspired or in modern and innovative designs. Qum handmade rugs also feature allover designs or pictorial images of landscapes, hunting and historical scenes.
Qum rugs are made in the Qum Province of Iran, around 100 km south of Tehran. Although rug weaving in Qum was not a major industry until the past 100 years, the luxurious silk rugs of Qum are known for their high quality and are regarded among the most expensive in the world. Persian Qum rugs are often considered as investment, because their value is constantly increasing.
The creation of these rugs is one of its distinct characteristics. Because of the thin threads of silk used, the weavers easily manifest small fine details. The knots per square inch on a Qum rug ranged between 200-500. The higher the number, the higher quality of rug. The Qum's fine weaving technique cause the designs to look intricate and thoroughly detailed.
