Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 148 × 47 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 148 × 47 cm. The covered area is about 0.7 m² (4.9' × 1.5'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as wool, silk, warp as cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

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

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
