The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 155 × 215 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 3.33 m², or 5.1' × 7.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange, Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
