Silk Qom Persian Rug 154 × 102 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 154 × 102 cm. It covers approximately 1.57 m², or 5.1' × 3.3'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

The pile is silk, on a warp of silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Condition

Stated condition: Neu.
