Nain Persian Rug 198 × 125 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 198 × 125 cm. It covers approximately 2.48 m², or 6.5' × 4.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as approx. 7 kg.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

The stated colourway is multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
