About This Qom
Where it comes from
This is a Moharamati runner from Qom, also written Qum, in central Iran, measuring 149 x 54 cm (4'11" x 1'9"). Qom is best known for the finest silk rugs in Persia. This one is knotted instead in handspun wool, a quieter register for a city famous for silk, and built from stripes rather than a medallion.
What you see
The eye meets five bands - cream, brick red, navy, red, cream - mirrored top to bottom, so the rhythm holds wherever you stand on the runner. Each stripe carries its own floral vocabulary: the cream grounds hold pink, salmon and pale blue rosettes, the red grounds answer in cream and dark green leaves, every outline staying crisp against its neighbour. A navy floral border of moderate width, faced by a narrower cream guard stripe, closes the field, and a plain brick-red edge frames the whole runner.
How it was made
The pile is handspun wool rather than the silk Qom is best known for, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre - a density city workshops usually reserve for silk, asking more of the weaver's hand here to keep each palmette and leaf sharply drawn. Kept short at 10 millimetres, the pile holds the drawing close to the surface, and mirroring five bands exactly along the runner's length called for the same careful counting a medallion would need, only repeated five times over.
At home
This is a runner for a hallway, a landing, or beside a bed, somewhere it is read along its length rather than taken in at a glance. The cream and brick red bring warmth into a passage that rarely sees direct sun, while the navy stripes and border keep it from feeling too pale. Wool of this density sits firm and even underfoot, made for daily crossing rather than a room kept for best, and its faint shimmer changes with every pass of light along the corridor.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 149 × 54 cm (0.80 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 0.80 m² that is roughly 350,000 to 400,000 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.
