Qom Persian Rug 85 × 122 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 85 × 122 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.04 m² (2.8' × 4'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

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.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
