The piece in short
Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 178 × 123 cm. That is roughly 2.19 m² of floor, about 5.8' × 4'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Construction
The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.
Where it fits
The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.
Fineness of the knotting
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 multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
Condition
Stated age: antique. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
