Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 107 × 147 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 107 × 147 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.57 m² of floor, about 3.5' × 4.8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. It is entirely 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.

Colour and appearance

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