Wool Nain Persian Rug 171 × 249 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 171 × 249 cm. The covered area is about 4.26 m² (5.6' × 8.2'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
