Qom Persian Rug 156 × 100 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qom of 156 × 100 cm. It covers approximately 1.56 m², or 5.1' × 3.3'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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

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