Antique Nain Persian Rug, 326 × 210 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 326 × 210 cm. That is roughly 6.85 m² of floor, about 10.7' × 6.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 18 kg.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

Colour and appearance

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.
