Description
Qum Ghom Wool and Silk Rug 7.1 x 4.7 ft / 215 x 143 cm
Technique: hand knotted
Pile material: Kurkwool Silk
Warp: Cotton
Quality: very fine knotted
Qum (Qom, also Ghom) is a city in central Persia, about 130 km south of the capital Tehran at about 1000 m altitude. The city is known as the seat of the Islamic theological college and as a place of pilgrimage. The sister of the eighth Imam (Fatima Musa ar-Rida / Imam Reza), Fatima bint Musa, died in Ghom in 817 and was buried there. After 1600, a gold-colored dome, which is one of the landmarks of Qum, was built above the tomb.
Qum is not a city with very old knotted tradition. In the 1930s, carpet producers from the nearby town of Kashan began to buildset up a production in Qum. Due to the increased global demand for persian carpets, the existing centers of rug making could no longer produce adequately. Consequently, new production facilities were established. Initially, Kashan motifs were mainly imitated. But soon the knotters began to produce all kinds of designs. Caucasian graphic motifs such as Shirvan, Kazak or Seichur were also popular designs in Qum. In the 1960s a new style developed.
To this day, design elements from Kashan are to be found, especially in the borders or in the way certain flowers are knotted. But nevertheless carpets from Qum today have a distinctive appearance. Typical is a lush floral pattern, often in medallion design.
Most carpets are knotted in sizes 90 x 60 cm (3 x 2 ft), 130 x 80 cm (4 x 3 ft), 150 x 100 cm (5 x 3 ft), 200 x 130 cm (7 x 5 ft) as well as runners and gallery sizes. Pieces in the formats 300 x 200 cm (10 x 7 ft), 350 x 250 cm 9 x 12 ft), 400 x 300 cm (10 x 13 ft) are also knotted as silk carpets, but due to manufacturing times of a few years these oversizes are rarer and often also very high-priced.
Designs: Floral, usually with medallion. Very detailed work. Also common patterns are prayer rugs with a dome and life tree, hunting motifs, figural carpets and pictures.
Qum silk carpets are among the finest and most filigree knotted works ever. Due to the use of thin, tear-resistant silk threads as a calf material, particularly small knots can be knotted. This makes very complex motifs possible.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
