Hand-Knotted Wool Qom Persian Rug, 148 × 223 cm

The piece in short

A Qom from Iran, measuring 148 × 223 cm. That is roughly 3.3 m² of floor, about 4.9' × 7.3'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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.
