The piece in short
This Qom comes from Iran and measures 164 × 107 cm. It covers approximately 1.75 m², or 5.4' × 3.5'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Materials and construction
The pile is silk, on a warp of silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 6 kg.
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 1,000,000+ knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.
On the colourway
It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
Condition
Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
