1960s carpet, 105 x 165

Wonderful carpet from the holy city of qom in central persia. The virgin wool, the so-called cork wool, which is sheared on the lamb’s neck, enables to spin very thin and durable threads that make the carpet very dense. This carpet is worked extremely carefully and worked out in great detail. Features: Qom carpet. Hand-knotted. Approx. 420, 000 knots per m2. Age 50-60 years. Virgin wool / silk. Made in persia, iran. Good condition with slight signs of usage. All of our carpets are cleaned in a professional carpet laundry. The first step in cleaning is to tap the carpet thoroughly to remove dust and any mites. The subsequent prewash with a ph-neutral soap removes stains. For the main wash, the carpet is thoroughly washed by hand – a special soap protects the fibers and preserves the natural wool fat of the carpet. The first dewatering takes place by means of mechanical pressing and spinning, to let the carpets then dry in a constant air circulation.
