Qom Persian Rug 61 × 91 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 61 × 91 cm. The covered area is about 0.56 m² (2' × 3'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, Seidenkette.

Size and placement

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 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. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
