Hand-knotted Qom Persian Rug in Silk, 78 × 58 cm

Roughly 339,000 knots tied by hand into 0.45 m² — a Qom rug from Iran, 78 × 58 cm. Qom lies south of Tehran; its workshops are the youngest of the great Persian centres and among the most disciplined. The stated density is 700,000-799,999 knots/sqm — a density that lets the drawing carry detail rather than outline. Pile 100% silk & warp 100% silk. Silk carries dye deeper than wool: the colours sit darker in shadow and brighter into the light. A small format at 78 × 58 cm, usually hung or laid where it will be seen close up. Proportion 1.34:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
