Story Behind the Art: Qum rugs, woven in the holy city of Qum since the early 20th century, represent the pinnacle of Persian weaving artistry despite their relatively recent origins. Celebrated for their unparalleled finesse, these masterpieces are often crafted from the finest silk or silk–wool blends, achieving extraordinary knot densities that allow for exquisite precision in design. Inspired by classical Persian motifs yet refined into their own distinctive style, Qum rugs frequently feature intricate floral medallions, garden scenes, prayer niches, and elegant arabesques rendered with jewel-like clarity. Many are signed by master weavers, underscoring their collectible value as works of art as much as floor coverings. Revered worldwide for their luminosity, luxurious texture, and delicate detailing, Qum rugs embody both the heritage of Persian craftsmanship and the sophistication of modern artistry.
