Qom Persian Rug 300 × 200 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Qom from Iran, measuring 300 × 200 cm. That is roughly 6 m² of floor, about 9.8' × 6.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk.

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
