Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 195 × 58 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 195 × 58 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.13 m² (6.4' × 1.9'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Construction: wool, silk in the pile over a cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 4 kg.

Format and use

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

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.

How it reads

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