Nain Persian Rug 120 × 92 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 120 × 92 cm. It covers approximately 1.1 m², or 3.9' × 3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. 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 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
