Qom Silk Rugs: Fine Weaving Between Kashan and Tehran

Located in central Iran, Qom has become world-renowned over the past century for its fine silk rugs, which are almost exclusively workshop-woven. These carpets are celebrated for their exceptional knot density, luminous textures, and refined reinterpretations of classical Persian designs.

While Shahsavan, Lak, and Azeri tribes live in the surrounding villages, little is known about their weaving traditions. In contrast, Qom’s silk carpet industry has secured a prestigious place in global markets—blending technical excellence with timeless beauty.
