Wool Nain Persian Rug 161 × 221 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 161 × 221 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.56 m² (5.3' × 7.3'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

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.
