Hand-Knotted Qom Persian Rug, 62 × 89 cm, Silk

Overview

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 62 × 89 cm. The covered area is about 0.55 m² (2' × 2.9'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% silk in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Size and placement

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

On the knot count

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

The stated colourway is red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
