Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 213 × 302 cm, Wool

At a glance

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 213 × 302 cm. It covers approximately 6.43 m², or 7' × 9.9'. 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. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
