Wool Nain Persian Rug 81 × 107 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 81 × 107 cm. The covered area is about 0.87 m² (2.7' × 3.5'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

On the knot count

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.

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.
