The production of carpets is fairly recent, in fact the first looms in Qum were built only around 1930, on the initiative of a group of merchants from Kashan. Despite this, however, the Qum were quickly imposed on the market thanks to their refined execution technique and the variety of their designs, which are inspired by those of the most important centers Persians with the oldest traditions.
