Weaving Tradition · Qum

In the Djoharian Collection we present this hand-knotted Qum (Ghom / Qom) runner. The dark blue central medallion sits within a luminous field of rust red, run through without a gap by curving flowering vines and floral bouquets. A delicate olive-green framing border sets off the warm red main field and underlines the symmetry of the drawing.

Material and Weave

For the dense, low pile the weavers used cork wool throughout — a fine, resilient wool quality. The finely spun yarn allows a sharp drawing of every ornament on a pure cotton warp. As this rug is new and unused, the natural fibre retains its soft handle.

Presence in the Room

At 49 × 140 cm (approx. 2 × 5 ft, 0.69 m²) the piece corresponds to the widely used standard runner format of 50 × 140 cm. Thanks to the elongated shape it works as:

• Hallway and entrance: a representative accent where a fine rug is seen at close range every day.
• Bedroom: warmth alongside the bed as a bedside runner.
• Living room: an accent in front of a console or sideboard.

Care and Everyday Use

This wool rug is easy to care for — regular vacuuming in the direction of the pile is sufficient. It is suitable for floors with underfloor heating; see our guide to rugs and underfloor heating. On smooth surfaces an anti-slip underlay is recommended.
