Nain Persian Rug 230 × 200 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 230 × 200 cm. It covers approximately 4.6 m², or 7.5' × 6.6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp.

Size and placement

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange, black and grey. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
