Nain Persian Rug 86 × 611 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 86 × 611 cm. That is roughly 5.25 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 20'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

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