Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 103 × 152 cm, Wool

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 103 × 152 cm. That is roughly 1.57 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 5'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

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

The stated colourway is red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
