Nain Persian Rug 154 × 232 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 154 × 232 cm. That is roughly 3.57 m² of floor, about 5.1' × 7.6'. 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. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

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

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
