Hand-Knotted Silk Qom Persian Rug, 114 × 80 cm

At a glance

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 114 × 80 cm. That is roughly 0.91 m² of floor, about 3.7' × 2.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ 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 black and grey. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
