Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 146 × 199 cm. The covered area is about 2.91 m² (4.8' × 6.5'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, Korkwolle, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

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. A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

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