At a glance
A Qom from Iran, measuring 75 × 56 cm. That is roughly 0.42 m² of floor, about 2.5' × 1.8'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Construction
Pile material is given as silk, warp as silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 2 kg.
Where it fits
The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.
On the knot count
The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.
How it reads
The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
Age
Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
