Nain Persian Rug 128 × 213 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 128 × 213 cm. It covers approximately 2.73 m², or 4.2' × 7'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. 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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
