Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 79 × 113 cm, Wool

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 79 × 113 cm. It covers approximately 0.89 m², or 2.6' × 3.7'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 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 blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
