Silk Qom Persian Rug 114 × 80 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 114 × 80 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. That is roughly 0.91 m² of floor, about 3.7' × 2.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as silk, warp as silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 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 Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
