Persian Qum Rugs

Qum rugs are famous for two things: pure silk pile and craftsmanship at the very top of Persian weaving. Knot counts run from 600 to 1000 per square inch, the designs come from master artists, and the best workshops sign their work in the border. Silk takes dye with a depth and shine wool cannot match, and a fine Qum shifts its colors as you walk around it. Every Qum on this page is hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind, and photographed exactly as it will arrive.

Alongside the pure silks, Qum weaves kork wool pieces to the same standard, soft lamb's wool on silk foundations with silk lighting the details. Whichever material, the quality shows the same way: crisp drawing, perfect symmetry, edges finished like jewelry. Signed pieces are verified before listing, so the name you pay for is the name you get. Our complete guide to Qum rugs covers the workshops and what to look for.

Most Qums come in smaller sizes, 2x3 through 4x6, which suits how people use them: on the floor in quieter rooms, or on the wall, where a silk Qum holds its own against fine art. For kindred fineness across Persia's other great workshop cities, Persian Nain rugs answer in ivory and indigo wool traced with silk, and Isfahan rugs in kork wool on silk foundations.
