Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 163 × 244 cm. That is roughly 3.98 m² of floor, about 5.3' × 8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

How it reads

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
