Silk Qom Persian Rug 64 × 91 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 64 × 91 cm. The covered area is about 0.58 m² (2.1' × 3'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Construction: 100% silk in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

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

The stated colourway is blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
