Qom Persian Rug 137 × 205 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 137 × 205 cm. The covered area is about 2.81 m² (4.5' × 6.7'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 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 red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
