Qom Persian Rug 77 × 118 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 77 × 118 cm. That is roughly 0.91 m² of floor, about 2.5' × 3.9'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, Seidenkette.

Size and placement

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

Colour and appearance

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.
