Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 80 × 123 cm. It covers approximately 0.98 m², or 2.6' × 4'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
