Antique Persian Qum Room Size Rug

Qum weavers are known for producing prayer rugs with elegant tree of life designs, as well as compartment designs derived from classical Persian garden carpets and other traditional Persian rugs. Given their largely classical design repertory, Qum rugs tend to be finely woven with knot counts in the two hundreds and three hundreds. Forty to forty years ago Qum also became a production center for Persian all-silk rugs of exceptional fineness. Today weavings of Qum continue to be among the most respected and highly prized fine Persian rugs.
