Qom Persian Rug 102 × 150 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 102 × 150 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.53 m² (3.3' × 4.9'). 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. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
