Qom rugs (or Qum, Ghom, Ghum, etc.) are made in the Qom Province of Iran, over 50 miles south of Tehran. Although rug weaving in Qom was not a major industry until the past century, the luxurious silk and wool rugs of Qom are known for their high quality and are regarded among the most expensive in the world. They often contain more modern and less geometric patterns than older works, incorporating pictorial elements and even full scenes into their fields. Tree of life and medallion motifs feature heavily in rugs knotted in Qom, and in the 21st Century even human figures have begun to appear in some images. Their shades are similar to the most popular colors of Persian rugs, including blue, red, and ivory, but they often have a cream background and are sometimes smaller than other types of Persian rugs. They are often placed on walls as well as floors, as they are increasingly constructed to be decorative works of art rather than simply functional.

Several stains, visible on both sides. Commensurate with use.
