Silk Qom Persian Rug 65 × 90 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 65 × 90 cm. It covers approximately 0.59 m², or 2.1' × 3'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% silk in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

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

Knot density and quality

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.

Colour and appearance

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