| The city of Qom
(pronounced "khom" or "gom") is most famous for its religious
fervor, but the beauty and elegance of its carpets is a rising
force in its reputation. In the realm of rugs, Qom carpets
are known as the finest of the fine. They exude elegance and
grandeur. The designs are eloquently rendered. The colors
are celestial. To own a Qom carpet of any size is to own a
little piece of airy heaven.
To achieve these fine qualities,
Qom rugs are woven of pure silk. The silk warp that is used
allows the weaver to tie the knots closer together, and the
silk pile attracts all kinds of shimmering lights and
highlights. Designs are provided by trained artists and every
aspect of production is controlled.
To see a Qom silk rug in
person is to believe it. Pictures simply don't do them
justice, nor can they show the supple, soft, luxurious
smoothness of touching something pure silk. If you are not
able to see one of these in person before you buy it, then
rest assured. The rug will far exceed even the highest hopes
and expectations.
Qom rugs, because of their
fine weave and the use of silk, are clipped more closely than
other rugs. This makes the pile shorter, and gives the rug
the feel of soft velvet or, one could say, they are "like
buttah". Whether you put them on the floor, or hang one on
the wall like a painting, these rugs provide joy in the sense
that..."A thing of beauty is a joy forever." (John Keats)
