Hand-Knotted Qom Persian Rug, 80 × 122 cm, Silk

Overview

Origin Iran, format 80 × 122 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.98 m² (2.6' × 4'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, Seidenkette.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

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