Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 105 × 155 cm. That is roughly 1.63 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 5.1'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Size and placement

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

On the knot count

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

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
