About This Qom
Where it comes from
A Qom runner, also written Qum, from the workshop city of central Iran, 143 x 51 cm (4'8" x 1'8"). Qom is known above all for precision: designs drawn on paper cartons and hand-knotted to an exact plan, often in silk, usually gathered around a single medallion. This piece keeps the precision but leaves the medallion aside, building its design instead as a sequence of bands.
What you see
The eye moves along the runner rather than into it. A cream band opens the design, its ground filled with small palmettes and flowers, then gives way to a narrower register of scrolling rust-red vine. At the centre sits a band of navy floral work, denser and darker than anything around it, before the red vine and cream palmettes repeat in reverse, closing the sequence. A wide, dark floral border frames the five bands, the vine set off by narrow red guard stripes and a slim cream edge.
How it was made
Qom workshops are usually praised for silk, but this piece is knotted in hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre - a density rarely seen in wool. It is that density which lets each palmette, vine and border leaf keep a clean, drawn edge rather than blur into its neighbour, essential in a design built from five bands rather than one field. The surface carries a light sheen, softer than silk would give, but no less precise.
At home
At just over half a metre wide, this is a runner for a hallway, a landing or a bedroom threshold. The cream bands lift a dim hallway, while the navy border holds its own against dark floorboards. The wool pile is dense and firm underfoot, made for daily use rather than display. Passing it each day, the eye settles on a different band each time.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 143 × 51 cm (0.73 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 0.73 m² that is roughly 320,000 to 360,000 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.
