Wool Nain Persian Rug 208 × 259 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 208 × 259 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 5.39 m² (6.8' × 8.5'). 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.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway

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