Ghom Silk - Crafted to Welcome You Home

Hand-knotted in the Middle East, this one-of-a-kind Ghom Silk runner brings a soft pink glow and rich cultural heritage to your home.

The soft pink tones and deep blue accents of this runner create a welcoming atmosphere in any room, while the pure silk pile offers a gentle, lustrous feel underfoot.

Crafted entirely from silk, the runner has a natural sheen that catches the light beautifully throughout the day, providing a soft touch while remaining resilient enough for indoor spaces.

As a one-of-a-kind creation, this runner is entirely unique, meaning no other home will have this exact piece, making it a distinctive addition that brings its own character into your living space.

Originating from a renowned weaving centre in the Middle East, this contemporary piece represents modern craftsmanship rooted in centuries of design, making it a lasting investment for your home.

Ghom rugs, originating from the holy city of Qum in the Middle East, are celebrated worldwide for their exceptional quality and artistry, establishing a reputation for producing some of the most detailed and luxurious rugs in the world.

The use of pure silk for both the pile and the foundation allows weavers to achieve incredibly fine details, as silk fibres are naturally strong yet remarkably thin, enabling the creation of intricate motifs and a dense, compact structure.

This runner features classic medallion designs set against a soft pink field, framed by a detailed border, where the repeating medallions symbolise symmetry and balance while the floral patterns showcase fluid, organic shapes.

Ghom silk rugs are highly prized by collectors and design enthusiasts for their artistic value and craftsmanship, making the acquisition of such a piece a way of preserving a piece of textile art that carries the heritage of Middle Eastern weaving.

This runner is entirely hand-knotted by skilled artisans, a process that requires months of dedicated work where every single knot is tied individually by hand, demonstrating a level of human skill and patience that machinery cannot replicate.

Weighing 7.1 kg for its dimensions of 297 by 80 cm, the piece has a dense and substantial feel that reflects the amount of material and labour invested in its creation, ensuring the runner lies flat and secure on your floor.

The creation of a pure silk runner of these dimensions involves a highly disciplined weaving process, where tension and alignment must be constantly monitored to ensure the runner is built to last for generations.

Silk

Silk is an exclusive natural fibre that provides a soft and shiny feeling to rugs. The material can also be used to enhance details in wool rugs and in some, silk can make up the entire pile and sometimes even the warp. Elegant rugs with rich details can only be made with silk because other fibres are too thick for this purpose. Silk is a durable and hard-wearing fibre that lasts a long time and becomes more beautiful over time. Due to its sensitivity to liquids, it is advisable to refrain from positioning the rug in areas where there is a high likelihood of moisture or potential spills.
