The piece in short
Origin Iran, format 148 × 100 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.48 m² (4.9' × 3.3'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Construction
Construction: silk in the pile over a silk foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 5 kg.
Where it fits
The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.
On the knot count
The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.
How it reads
The stated colourway is red and orange. 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. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
