Qom Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 101 × 147 cm, Silk

Overview

Origin Iran, format 101 × 147 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.48 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 4.8'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

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.
