Qom Persian Rug 61 × 90 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 61 × 90 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.55 m² (2' × 3'). 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. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

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 multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
