Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 102 × 149 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 102 × 149 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.52 m² (3.3' × 4.9'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. 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 500,000–599,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

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