About This Qom
Where it comes from
This is a Qom runner, also written Ghom, from central Iran, 149 x 53 cm (4'11" x 1'9"). The town is best known for silk pile knotted so finely that its rugs are sold as jewellery for the floor. This piece carries that same precision into hand-spun wool instead, and sets its pattern out in bands rather than around a single medallion.
What you see
The field runs in alternating stripes of cream, brick red and navy, each stripe carrying its own motif rather than the rug settling on one ground colour. The cream bands hold small floral sprays, the red bands repeat those florals in a warmer register, and the navy bands carry rows of botteh, the paisley form, touched with soft green and powder blue. Golden-mustard scrollwork runs through every stripe and ties the sequence together. A wide navy border, close to a fifth of the rug's width, frames the piece with a dense golden vine and small red blossoms, finished with a thin red guard line.
How it was made
At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, the knotting is dense enough to keep the floral outlines and the paisley edges sharp rather than letting them soften into the ground, which is the level of work Qom is built on. The pile here is hand-spun wool rather than the silk the town usually reaches for, and it shows in the surface: the pale bands carry a faint natural sheen while the navy and red sit more matte beside them, so the light plays differently stripe by stripe instead of sitting evenly across a single sheet of silk.
At home
At just over half a metre wide, this is a runner for a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed. The banded stripes read as rhythm rather than repeat, so the navy holds the eye at a distance while the cream and red catch the light as you pass. Ten millimetres of dense wool pile takes daily footsteps easily, and the sheen across the pale bands shifts gently as the light in the room changes through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 149 × 53 cm (0.79 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 0.79 m² that is roughly 350,000 to 390,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
