Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 102 × 142 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 102 × 142 cm. The covered area is about 1.45 m² (3.3' × 4.7'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 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 blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
