Hand-Knotted Silk Qom Persian Rug, 59 × 85 cm

About this rug

A Qom from Iran, measuring 59 × 85 cm. The covered area is about 0.5 m² (1.9' × 2.8'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Knot density and quality

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.

Colour and appearance

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