Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 85 × 120 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 85 × 120 cm. The covered area is about 1.02 m² (2.8' × 3.9'). 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. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Fineness of the knotting

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

The stated colourway is blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
