Wool Nain Persian Rug 148 × 240 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 148 × 240 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.55 m² (4.9' × 7.9'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway

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.
