Nain Persian Rug 53 × 206 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 53 × 206 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 1.09 m², or 1.7' × 6.8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

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.

How it reads

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