Nain Persian Rug 82 × 117 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 82 × 117 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 0.96 m² of floor, about 2.7' × 3.8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

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