Nain Persian Rug 86 × 404 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 86 × 404 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 3.47 m², or 2.8' × 13.3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

Colour and appearance

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