Nain Persian Rug 197 × 124 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 197 × 124 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.44 m² of floor, about 6.5' × 4.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

The pile is wool, silk, on a warp of cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ 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 multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
