Wool Nain Persian Rug 123 × 184 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 123 × 184 cm. It covers approximately 2.26 m², or 4' × 6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under black and grey. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
