Qom Persian Rug 83 × 66 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 83 × 66 cm. The covered area is about 0.55 m² (2.7' × 2.2'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 2 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

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.
