Ghom Blue 5530

Ghom (sometimes spelled Qom) is a city in central Iran known for producing some of the finest and most exclusive Persian rugs. Here is a detailed overview of Ghom rugs: Ghom is located about 150 km south of Tehran and is an important religious and cultural city in Persia. The city has a long tradition of rug weaving. Ghom rugs are known for their exceptional quality and are usually hand-knotted with very high knot density, which gives them a soft and dense surface. Ghom rugs are known for their complex and beautiful patterns that often include floral arrangements, medallions, and sometimes even figurative motifs such as animals and people. They are often inspired by classic Persian patterns and have a symmetry that is both aesthetically pleasing and harmonious. These rugs use a wide range of colors, including vibrant reds, blues, greens, and gold hues. The dyeing is traditionally done with natural dyes, adding depth and luster to the rugs. One of the most distinctive features of Ghom rugs is that they are often made of silk or a blend of silk and wool. Silk rugs from Ghom are particularly known for their soft, glossy surface and their detailed patterns. There are also rugs that are entirely made of fine wool or a combination of wool and cotton. These rugs are also of very high quality and durable. Ghom rugs come in various sizes, from small prayer rugs to larger room rugs, and they can be rectangular, square, or round. Due to their high quality and craftsmanship, Ghom rugs have a high market value. They are popular among collectors and can be expensive, especially those made of pure silk. Many consider Ghom rugs as investment objects due to their durability and aesthetic value.
