Qom Persian Rug 307 × 198 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 307 × 198 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 6.08 m² (10.1' × 6.5'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk.

Size and placement

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

How it reads

It is catalogued under multicolour, Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
