Wool Nain Persian Rug 81 × 118 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 81 × 118 cm. The covered area is about 0.96 m² (2.7' × 3.9'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

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 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
