Antique Nain Persian Rug 312 × 204 cm, Wool

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 312 × 204 cm. That is roughly 6.36 m² of floor, about 10.2' × 6.7'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 18 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

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