This is the story of the "Green Qum". There are several types of Persian rugs. The very best in design, composition, and detailing (knots per square inch) come from an area in Iran called: Qum. Thus the rugs made in this area are all hand made by families for generation.....this is a green colored Qum. Shaun actually picked this out during a rug flop in October. He liked it for the rich colors of green, and the fact that it is a rare color. He kept the rug over-night but had me take it back the next day.....thinking it was too much money. Well, that day I did take the rug back to Abdul, but purchased it and had Abdul hold it until Xmas. Well, about two weeks later Shaun asked Abdul if he still had the green Qum, as he now had "rug remorse" and wished to purchase it after all. For next months leading up to Xmas, Shaun would continuously asked Abdul to search far and wide to find him another green Qum. We all had a good laugh about it. And on Xmas day.....truly Shaun as surprised! Thus, on the wall it is proudly displayed. Oh, thanks to Mom and Dad for the Bronco's shirt I'm wearing......Thus is the story of the green Qum.
