Hand-Knotted Silk Qom Persian Rug, 300 × 200 cm

Overview

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 300 × 200 cm. That is roughly 6 m² of floor, about 9.8' × 6.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

What it is made of

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

On the colourway

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