Ghom rugs emerged in Iran around 1920-1930 under the impetus of Kashan artisans and merchants. Our model perfectly illustrates this tradition with exceptional wool, fine, precise patterns and harmonious colors. In fact, it shares many similarities with Kashan rugs, particularly in the medallions and borders.

Made with a tight Persian knot on fine wool, Ghom are distinguished by their specific decorations. This model features a field covered with delicate botehs in shades of apricot, straw yellow, vegetal green, pale blue and orange, evoking a refined Persian garden.

The boteh, a Zoroastrian symbol of immortality, is said to be inspired by Zoroaster's sacred cypress tree, bearer of light and spirituality.

This rug, marketed under the names Ghom, Qom or Qum, is a magnificent example of this art, combining classicism and rare nuances.

KURKS wool:

Kurk wool, also known as kork wool, refers to high quality wool from the fleece of young lambs, usually less than eight months old. This wool is particularly prized for its fineness, softness and brilliance, characteristics that make it a material of choice for the manufacture of carpets and luxury textiles.

çThe provenance of Kurk wool is closely linked to regions where sheep farming is an age-old tradition. In Iran, for example, breeders carefully select young lambs to obtain wool of exceptional quality, used in particular to make Persian rugs renowned for their finesse and durability. Similarly, in Turkey and the Caucasus, kurk wool is used to make high-quality rugs and handcrafted textiles.

The quality of kurk wool depends on several factors, including the breed of sheep, rearing conditions and feed. The specific breeds raised in these regions, combined with traditional husbandry practices, contribute to the production of kurk wool with remarkable properties.

Thus, kurk wool is a precious natural fiber, born of ancient pastoral traditions, which continues to be valued in textile craftsmanship for its exceptional qualities.
