Ghom
There are many different spellings for Ghom rugs: Qom, Ghoum or even Ghum. Located not far from Tehran, the city of Qom is famous for being a place of pilgrimage and graced by impressive architectural monuments. However, contrary to the centuries-old tradition of Persian rug production, it was not until 1920 that rugs began to be made in Qom. Although Ghom rugs do not bear the respected name of the ancient rugs of Tabriz or Sultanabad, Ghom rugs have a distinct style andmerit.
Qom artists are known for producing rugs with elegant designs of the tree of life with and without birds and animals. They also produce the traditional Shah Abbas pattern allover, or medallion styles,palmettes, botéh, herati, hunting, lattice, shrub, among a large variety of other famous Persian gardens.
Given their largely classical design repertoire, Ghom rugs tend to be extremely fine, with high knot counts. Forty years ago, Qom also became a center for the production of Persian rugs made of silk of exceptional fineness. Today, Qom rugs are among the most respected Persian rugs and are highly valued.
The fine materials with which Ghom are woven allow weavers to design exquisite and precise details. They are made with fine silk and wool threads and most are traditionally used as wall hangings. Ghom rugs are also often characterized by curved lines produced to perfection. The most used color selection consists of red, blue and ivory, although other colors are also common.
In recent years, Ghom rugs have re-emerged in popularity. For those looking for the finest fabrics and beauty of color, these rugs are one of the most impressive pieces you can have in your home.
The methods used to produce the Ghom rugs are also complex and intricate. The making of these modern rugs is often as impressive as the ancient rugs were. Many of their admirers find it difficult to put into words the attraction they feel for Ghom rugs, but the most prominent linking factor between these works of art and their viewers is letting themselves be affected by each knot that has been carefully woven.
This makes each Ghom unique. Made as an individual work of art, never to be replicated. And since many of the Ghom rugs in existence today were produced during the first half of the 20th century, owning one of these special rugs is owning a piece of history.
The fact that many rugs already contain two layers of silk makes them incredibly unique, but the colors of Ghom rugs bring quality to a higher level. The striking beauty of colors is often due to the design and materials used.
When looking at a Ghom rug, you will notice the intricate details given to the colors through the geometric motifs. This level of variety is largely due to the materials and colors that are used, giving it a vibrant, clear feel. Some Ghom rugs are pictorial while others depict specific historical events, landscapes or a more abstract oriental design, but rich in detail.
