Wool Nain Persian Rug 131 × 205 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 131 × 205 cm. The covered area is about 2.69 m² (4.3' × 6.7'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

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.

Colour and appearance

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