Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 112 × 160 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 112 × 160 cm. It covers approximately 1.79 m², or 3.7' × 5.2'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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.
