Nain Persian Rug 209 × 261 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 209 × 261 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 5.45 m² of floor, about 6.9' × 8.6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
