This carpet is a Ghom carpet, known for its high quality and artistic workmanship. Ghom carpets originate from the Iranian city of Ghom (also spelled Qom) and are among the finest silk carpets in the world. They are characterized by their detailed patterns, shiny silk and precise knotting. ### Characteristics of the Ghom silk carpet: 1 **Material**: - The rug is made of pure silk, both for the pile and the warp. This gives it a luxurious sheen and a soft feel. 2 **Design**: - Ghom rugs often feature floral patterns, as seen on this rug. The central medallion and symmetrical floral motifs are typical of Persian designs. - The colour palette often includes natural tones such as cream, pink, black and red, which harmonize with each other. 3 **Knotting**: - Ghom rugs have a very high knot density, which ensures fine detail and durability. The knot density can be up to 1 million knots per square meter. 4 **Cultural significance**: - These rugs are considered works of art and are often considered investment pieces or collectibles. 5 **Care**: - Due to the delicate nature of silk, Ghom rugs should be carefully cleaned and protected from moisture and direct sunlight. This rug is not only a decorative element, but also a symbol of Persian craftsmanship and tradition.
