Qom Persian Rug 123 × 82 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 123 × 82 cm. That is roughly 1.01 m² of floor, about 4' × 2.7'. 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 works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Knot density and quality

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.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
