Qom Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 197 × 130 cm, Silk

The piece in short

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 197 × 130 cm. The covered area is about 2.56 m² (6.5' × 4.3'). Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

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

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.

How it reads

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