This is not a Qum. Qum has the finest rugs ever made. They are all or predominately silk with at least 400 knots per square inch. The design also is not Qum, this is a Kashan or Mashad design and just by looking at it this is a commercial rug, made to be sold in the western market, around 120 knots per square inch. If you ever see a Qum you will never forget it.
