Wool Nain Persian Rug 82 × 210 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 82 × 210 cm. It covers approximately 1.72 m², or 2.7' × 6.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

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

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

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
