Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 298 × 380 cm, Wool

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 298 × 380 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 11.32 m² (9.8' × 12.5'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. 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.

How it reads

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