Qom Persian Rug 101 × 150 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 101 × 150 cm. That is roughly 1.52 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 4.9'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

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

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.

On the colourway

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