Hand-knotted Qom Oriental Rug in Silk, 186 × 127 cm

Roughly 2.5 million knots tied by hand into 2.36 m² — a Qom rug, 186 × 127 cm. Qom layouts are drawn to a cartoon rather than woven from memory, which is why the pattern is so exact. The stated density is 1,000,000+ knots/m² — a weave fine enough that the pattern reads like brushwork rather than knots. Pile 100% silk,, warp 100% silk. Silk both in the pile and through the foundation, so the whole rug catches light rather than only the pattern. At 2.36 m² this is a collector’s size; fine pieces this small are often shown on a wall. Proportion 1.46:1. One of a kind: hand-knotted rugs are not made in editions, so this exact piece exists once.
