Hand-Knotted Qom Persian Rug, 61 × 90 cm, Silk

The piece in short

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 61 × 90 cm. The covered area is about 0.55 m² (2' × 3'). 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.

Format and use

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

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.

How it reads

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.
