Nain Persian Rug 171 × 246 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 171 × 246 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 4.21 m², or 5.6' × 8.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

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

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.
