Wool Nain Persian Rug 160 × 110 cm, hand-knotted

About this rug

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 160 × 110 cm. That is roughly 1.76 m² of floor, about 5.2' × 3.6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Fineness of the knotting

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

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

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