At a glance

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 163 × 235 cm. The covered area is about 3.83 m² (5.3' × 7.7'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

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

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

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. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
