The piece in short
A Qom from Iran, measuring 84 × 121 cm. That is roughly 1.02 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 4'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Materials and construction
The pile is 100% silk, on a warp of 100% silk. Construction method: hand-knotted.
Size and placement
Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.
Fineness of the knotting
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.
How it reads
The stated colourway is blue / Türkis. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
