About This Qom
Where it comes from
This is a Qom, a city-workshop rug from the Persian city long associated with jewellery-like precision, measuring 211 x 145 cm (6'11" x 4'9"). Qom pieces are usually knotted in silk, prized for their glitter and their miniature detail. This one takes a quieter path: the same fine drawing, worked instead in wool, on a ground colour rarely seen in the design at all.
What you see
The field is an unusually saturated olive-green, a colour this all-over floral pattern almost never wears — red or ivory is the norm. Across it spreads a dense lattice of serrated leaves and small rosettes, drawn evenly from edge to edge, with no medallion to interrupt it. A broad brick-red border carries the same vine motif, its coral, salmon and touches of burgundy echoed within the field, and the whole is held by narrow cream and navy guard stripes.
How it was made
Between 441,000 and 500,000 knots fill every square metre, a density that lets the weaver draw each leaf and rosette with real precision, whatever the material. Most Qom pieces spend that fineness on silk and its glitter; here the pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, so the sheen sits low and gathers in the coloured motifs rather than washing across the whole field. Wool also carries more body than silk, and at 10 mm the pile has a depth this pattern rarely gets to show.
At home
At just over two metres by a metre and a half, it belongs in a living room, anchoring a seating group rather than sitting under a dining table. The olive ground holds its own against dark wood and warms a paler floor without competing with either. Underfoot it is dense and firm, hand-knotted to be walked on rather than kept for best. As afternoon light crosses it, the coral and mustard in the motifs come quietly forward, then settle back as the sun moves on.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 211 × 145 cm (3.06 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
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 3.06 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 million 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.
