The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 101 × 158 cm. The covered area is about 1.6 m² (3.3' × 5.2'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Stated material: silk, silk warp. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 4mm.

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

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