Nain Persian Rug 84 × 122 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 84 × 122 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.02 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 4'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
