Hand-Knotted Silk Qom Persian Rug, 100 × 148 cm

The piece in short

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 100 × 148 cm. That is roughly 1.48 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 4.9'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
