Hand-Knotted Silk Qom Persian Rug, 61 × 91 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 61 × 91 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. That is roughly 0.56 m² of floor, about 2' × 3'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

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.
