Wool Nain Persian Rug 105 × 154 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 105 × 154 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.62 m² (3.4' × 5.1'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

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.
