Nain Persian Rug 253 × 340 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 253 × 340 cm. It covers approximately 8.6 m², or 8.3' × 11.2'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

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.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
