Qom Persian Rug 220 × 144 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

A Qom from Iran, measuring 220 × 144 cm. That is roughly 3.17 m² of floor, about 7.2' × 4.7'. 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 approx. 10 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
