Qom Persian Rug 296 × 393 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 296 × 393 cm. That is roughly 11.63 m² of floor, about 9.7' × 12.9'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% silk in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
