Wool Qom Persian Rug 151 × 105 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 151 × 105 cm. That is roughly 1.59 m² of floor, about 5' × 3.4'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

The pile is Handgesponnene Wolle, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Format and use

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 400,000–499,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
