Very Fine Gol Farang Silk

Qom (Qum / Ghom) rugs are among the finest in the world. Although it does not boast a long and ancient history, Qom creates exceptional art works, frequently entirely in pure silk. The rug industry of this city is incredibly modern, producing extraordinary quality. Prices tend to reflect the high quality of materials, design and execution. Styles and patterns vary tremendously, as this city usually recreates ancient historical patterns from many other noble sources. Brilliantly detailed medallions, all-over patterns of the greatest intricacy, and breathtaking pictorials and hunting scenes attest to the craftsmanship of Persia's finest master-weavers.
