Nain Persian Rug 212 × 297 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 212 × 297 cm. That is roughly 6.3 m² of floor, about 7' × 9.7'. 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 5-7mm.

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

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