Nain Persian Rug 102 × 164 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 102 × 164 cm. The covered area is about 1.67 m² (3.3' × 5.4'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

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.

Colour and appearance

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