Qom Persian Rug 82 × 121 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 82 × 121 cm. That is roughly 0.99 m² of floor, about 2.7' × 4'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

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

Where it fits

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

On the knot count

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 red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
