Qom Persian Rug 64 × 87 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 64 × 87 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. That is roughly 0.56 m² of floor, about 2.1' × 2.9'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

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

The stated colourway is multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
