Wool & Silk Nain Persian Rug 145 × 207 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 145 × 207 cm. The covered area is about 3 m² (4.8' × 6.8'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 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.
