At a glance

A Qom from Iran, measuring 101 × 150 cm. The covered area is about 1.52 m² (3.3' × 4.9'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Stated material: silk, Seidenkette.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
