Qom Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 295 × 200 cm, Silk

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 295 × 200 cm — a Qom made entirely by hand. That is roughly 5.9 m² of floor, about 9.7' × 6.6'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

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

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