Nain Persian Rug 80 × 126 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 80 × 126 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 1.01 m², or 2.6' × 4.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

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