Djeddi

The next generation of Qom rug knotting

Djeddi is one of the contemporary Qom master weavers carrying the city's established silk tradition into the present. Where Jamshidi, Erami, and Mohammadi embody the classical Qom school, Djeddi stands for a somewhat more accessible interpretation that pairs traditional motifs with modern colour preferences.

Stylistic features

Djeddi rugs follow the Qom tradition in knot density and material: pure silk in pile, warp, and weft, with fine knotting in the range of 600,000 to 900,000 knots per square metre. Stylistically the patterns are sometimes a little less dense than those of the classical masters — fields with more breathing room, occasionally garden-rug compositions with fresh colour accents.

Market position

Djeddi rugs appeal to buyers looking for a signed Qom silk rug without paying the top prices of the established master families. Qualitatively they sit firmly in the upper-mid range and are regularly stocked in the German and European specialist trade.

Signed Djeddi pieces carry the family name in the lower border. For newcomers to the Qom silk category they are a worthwhile entry point.
