Qom Persian Rug 100 × 150 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 100 × 150 cm. That is roughly 1.5 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 4.9'. 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 format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Braun / Gelb. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
