Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 105 × 154 cm, Wool

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 105 × 154 cm. That is roughly 1.62 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 5.1'. 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.

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

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

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
