I appreciate your message in our message board. If you are looking for carpets and /or rugs with high RAJ (70 +), you should search for pure silk ones. The majority of top quality, pure silk carpets and rugs are producing in QUM (QOM), ISFAHAN, and TABRIZ in IRAN. The only other exception that I recommend is HERRKEH from TURKEY Just make sure find “REAL” one and not cheap, junk from China , Pakistan or India, Look a like HERREKE). There are other cities in IRAN that are producing silk rugs but do not have the quality and visage of the top three cities. The pure silk of QUM (QOM) has excellent visage and quality compare to the other ones. It is very hard to find a real 100 RAJ pure silk QUM(QOM).I repeat word “Real” many times because some dealers rounding up the number to the top 10th cycle. For example, if the number of the knots in 7 centimeters on the back of a rug is 66 (RAJ 66), some dealers claimed that rug has 70 RAJ. This is common practice and widely used.
Any way, if you are looking for QUM pure silk, I do have a good collection of them. The only problem is that I did not figure it out the unit of the 2x3 rug that you are looking for?
What is the unit? (Meter or Feet).
You mentioned about Back side silk, I think you mean foundation silk. In a Real pure silk rugs or carpets Foundation, Pile and fringes all should be silk. I do have a collection of high end QUM silk rugs that have signature of master weavers on them. If you are interested you can contact me.
If you want to know more about QUM (QOM) and its productions, please check:


Thank You
