Wool & Silk Nain Persian Rug 229 × 155 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 229 × 155 cm. That is roughly 3.55 m² of floor, about 7.5' × 5.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Pile material is given as wool, silk, warp as cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 9 kg.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
