Nain Persian Rug 173 × 235 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 173 × 235 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.07 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 7.7'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

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.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
