Hand-Knotted Silk Qom Persian Rug, 80 × 120 cm

The piece in short

A Qom from Iran, measuring 80 × 120 cm. That is roughly 0.96 m² of floor, about 2.6' × 3.9'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

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.

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.
