Qom and Naïn had so to say no carpet-production till the middle of the 20th century and are hardly mentioned in books till that time.

In the beginning they aimed to achieve the best and finest work with better materials. But as many success stories, a commercial exploitation did not favor originality and creativity. Thus, under a same name one shall discover qualities from best to worse.
