Nain Persian Rug 83 × 115 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 83 × 115 cm. The covered area is about 0.95 m² (2.7' × 3.8'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. 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

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