About Jeddi Workshop

~ The hidden summit of Qom silk, rarely seen on the open market ~

Jeddi Workshop enjoys a reputation in Qom — the heartland of Persian carpets — that no one in the trade is unfamiliar with, yet its work never appears in the general bazaar. It is, in the truest sense, a "hidden" workshop.
Founded in 1972 by the eldest brother, Ali Jeddi (then 19), it is run by three brothers: Ali, the second brother Abolghasem, and the third brother Mohsen.

In Japan too the Jeddi name sits alongside renowned workshops like Mirmehdi and Jamshidi, with pieces commonly trading in the millions of yen — testament to both their value and their artistry.

History

  • Founded: 1972, by the eldest brother Ali.
  • Lineage: The younger brothers trained under Ali from their teens; today each of the three is an independent master in his own right.
  • Output: Only a small number of pieces have been produced over the thirty-plus years since founding — the workshop's strict quality control keeps production exceptionally limited.

How to Tell the Pieces Apart, and Why It Matters

Pieces by Jeddi Workshop that appear on the market today are mostly the work of the eldest brother, Ali Jeddi, or the second brother, Abolghasem. The maker is clearly identifiable from the woven signature.

Pieces by the founder Ali Jeddi are considered a class apart.

  • History and weight: Ali has the longest career and embodies the workshop's history.
  • Rarity and price: Because of the difficulty of production and the depth of his history, Ali's pieces are rarer and trade at higher prices than Abolghasem's.

Three Defining Features of Jeddi Workshop

1. Strict discretion and rarity
To prevent design imitation, the workshop refrains from showing its pieces in domestic shops or exhibitions.
Even the bazaars of Qom rarely carry one. This is a deliberate "known only to those who know" approach, and the workshop has earned enough trust that buyers and collectors travel from around the world to buy directly.

2. Extraordinary weave density (1.3 million knots)
The carpets are woven at roughly 1.3 million knots per square metre — well beyond what most high-end silk pieces achieve.
That fineness means each square metre takes about a year to complete. From silk selection to dyeing, everything is carried out under Ali Jeddi's own strict supervision.

3. A distinctive "kilim pile" technique and palette
Jeddi's signature touch is the decoration worked into the kilim sections near the top and bottom fringes.
Using an advanced technique that weaves pile into a flat kilim ground, the workshop raises lettering and lion motifs in low relief.
The palette extends beyond traditional reds and dark blues into soft, refined pastels of green, blue, and yellow — perfect for dreamlike renderings of dome (ceiling) patterns and floral designs.

In summary
This is a rare workshop that has built a global reputation entirely on quality and craft, without any showy promotion. Its pieces are treated not as floor coverings but as fine art.

Check the workshop signature before purchase.

Workshop Signature (Ali Jeddi Workshop)

At the top and bottom of the piece, the signature is woven in flowing Persian calligraphy reading "Qom · Ali Jeddi".

Below the signature, in the kilim section, are the motifs of a lion holding a sword and the sun (Shir-o-Khorshid), with a crown at the centre. These are not mere decoration — they are designs long honoured in Persian history as symbols of royal authority, strength, justice, wisdom, and glory, and they carry a dignity permitted only to the highest pieces.

Workshop Signature (Ali Jeddi Workshop)

Pieces by the second brother, Abolghasem Jeddi, carry a signature in the same grand style as his elder brother's.

It is woven in elegant Persian calligraphy reading "Qom · Abolghasem Jeddi", and from this signature the maker is unmistakably identified as the second brother.

Below it, in the kilim section, are Jeddi Workshop's signature motifs — the lion holding a sword with the sun, and the crown — set alternately. In Persian culture these are traditional auspicious patterns standing for strength, justice, and the dignity of the royal house. The mark quietly attests that Abolghasem's pieces, too, faithfully carry on the family's pride and the workshop's highest standards.

Each workshop has its own distinctive colour palette and pattern style.

Color and pattern characteristics

Jeddi Workshop pieces stand out for their distinctive "beauty of pale colours" and a striking three-dimensional weave.
Alongside traditional reds and dark blues, the workshop makes liberal use of pastel greens, blues, and yellows, twisting several colours of thread together so the piece sends out a dreamlike shimmer that shifts with the angle of view.
For design, beyond dome (ceiling) patterns and florals, Jeddi uses its own technique of weaving pile into the kilim section near the fringes. Motifs of a lion holding a sword with the sun, and of a crown, are raised as if in low relief — symbols of royal authority, strength, justice, and glory.
