Qom Persian Rug 200 × 60 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 200 × 60 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.2 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 2'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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.

On the colourway

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.
