Hand-Knotted Silk Qom Persian Rug, 315 × 200 cm

About this rug

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 315 × 200 cm. That is roughly 6.3 m² of floor, about 10.3' × 6.6'. 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. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

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

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.
