About this rug
A Qom from Iran, measuring 100 × 100 cm. The covered area is about 1 m² (3.3' × 3.3'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Construction
Pile material is given as silk, warp as silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.
Size and placement
The rug is square. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.
Fineness of the knotting
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.
On the colourway
It is catalogued under black and grey. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
Age and condition
Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
