Nain Persian Rug 108 × 165 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 108 × 165 cm. The covered area is about 1.78 m² (3.5' × 5.4'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 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 red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
