Qom Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 355 × 250 cm, Silk

At a glance

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 355 × 250 cm. The covered area is about 8.88 m² (11.6' × 8.2'). 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 large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

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 multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
