Qom قم
Qom is a shrine city south of Tehran whose carpet industry grew from about eleven weaving villages in 1948 and spread steadily through the 1960s, with materials and designs organised from the city. With Kashan and Nain, it is one of the central Iranian towns where carpets are woven entirely in silk.
