The piece in short
A Qom from Iran, measuring 160 × 106 cm. The covered area is about 1.7 m² (5.2' × 3.5'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.
Construction
Construction: silk in the pile over a silk foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 6 kg.
Format and use
The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.
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
Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
Age
Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
