The piece in short
A Qom from Iran, measuring 107 × 153 cm. That is roughly 1.64 m² of floor, about 3.5' × 5'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Construction
The pile is 100% silk, on a warp of 100% silk. It is entirely hand-knotted.
Format and use
A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.
Knot density and quality
The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.
How it reads
It is catalogued under red and orange. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
