Hand-Knotted Wool Qom Persian Rug, 169 × 108 cm

The piece in short

A Qom from Iran, measuring 169 × 108 cm. The covered area is about 1.83 m² (5.5' × 3.5'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

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

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

Stated condition: new.
