Description

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 160 × 110 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.76 m² of floor, about 5.2' × 3.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 6 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.

Period

Stated age: antique. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
