Hand-knotted Qom Oriental Rug in Silk, 302 × 202 cm

A red and orange Qom rug, hand-knotted, 302 × 202 cm. Qom layouts are drawn to a cartoon rather than woven from memory, which is why the pattern is so exact. At 700,000-799,999 knots/sqm the pile holds around 4.6 million knots in total — a fine knot count, well above what a decorative rug needs. 100% silk & 100% cotton. A silk pile shifts tone as you move past it — the same field reads light from one side of the room and dark from the other. A living-room size: 302 × 202 cm sits well under a coffee table with room to walk around it. Proportion 1.5:1. One of a kind: hand-knotted rugs are not made in editions, so this exact piece exists once.
