Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 78 × 193 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 78 × 193 cm. It covers approximately 1.51 m², or 2.6' × 6.3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

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

The stated colourway is 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.
