Qom Persian Rug 60 × 90 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 60 × 90 cm. That is roughly 0.54 m² of floor, about 2' × 3'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, Seidenkette.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
