Nain Persian Rug 201 × 132 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 201 × 132 cm. That is roughly 2.65 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 4.3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Construction: Handgesponnene Wolle in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 9 kg.

Size and placement

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

Colour and appearance
