Qom Persian Rug 50 × 50 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 50 × 50 cm. That is roughly 0.25 m² of floor, about 1.6' × 1.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Pile material is given as wool, silk, warp as cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 2 kg.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
