Persian rugs are characterized by their wonderfully rich colors and strong designs and motifs.

Quality: The quality of QOM (QUM) rugs and carpets varies.

Persian rugs and area rugs are most often made from wool. Cotton is frequently used to make Persian rugs as well.

Although Nain is not a very old rug-weaving city, it is well established and among the most valued carpet-producing centers in Iran. It has adapted most of its skills from the very ancient and neighboring city of Isfahan.

Qum is famous for making the best silk Persian rugs.

They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold your Persian rug securely in place.

Hand made area rugs are still considered the best available area rug product and they possess a look and feel that is superior to most machine made rugs.

Price: QOM (QUM) rugs are among the finest rugs in the world. The quality of QOM (QUM) silk rugs is particularly high.

During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the quality of the raw materials used to create Persian rugs and the designs created took Persian rug-making to an astonishing new level. A weaver was an honored professional.

The cross-threads (the waft to use the correct term) that forms the base of the rug on which the knots are placed is made from cotton by design, in order to keep the knots sturdy and in place for hundreds of years.

The different geographic regions and provinces in which Persian rugs are made influence the design and weaving process. For example, Persian rugs from Kerman Province are thought of as some of the most colorful and soft.

Rug weaving is an ancient art form created by hands for centuries. It takes a few years to weave one rug; thus, a rug’s value partly derives from it being made by hand due to the belief that hand-made products are better in quality and design.

Also affecting this is the consideration of the wool being used. Handspun wool, being less perfectly spun will accept the colors of the dyes at different depths of the same shade and will show more variation in color than machine spun wool.
