Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 110 × 164 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 110 × 164 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.8 m² of floor, about 3.6' × 5.4'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

Colour and appearance

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