Nain Persian Rug 87 × 130 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 87 × 130 cm. The covered area is about 1.13 m² (2.9' × 4.3'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

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

Fineness of the knotting

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.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
