Qom Persian Rug 120 × 80 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 120 × 80 cm. That is roughly 0.96 m² of floor, about 3.9' × 2.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
