Frequently Asked Questions

No, all genuine Qum rugs are vintage or later. Pile weaving in Qom began in the early 1930s, so no productions have yet reached 100 years.
No. While many are completely made from silk, some are made through a combination of silk and wool, or are purely wool productions.
No. Because they are a fairly new tradition, they borrow design styles, compositions, and motifs from already-established older traditions. Their distinctiveness comes from their construction.
Fine silk Qum rugs are best treated as low-traffic pieces or as purely decorative objects. Silk-and-wool and all-wool Qums are more practical for rooms in regular use.
Value is determined through a combined consideration of fiber, knot density, drawing quality, construction, size, condition, and workshop signature when applicable.
