Qom Persian Rug 103 × 150 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Qom from Iran, measuring 103 × 150 cm. The covered area is about 1.55 m² (3.4' × 4.9'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% silk, warp as 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

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

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
