Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 101 × 151 cm, Wool

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 101 × 151 cm. It covers approximately 1.53 m², or 3.3' × 5'. 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. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
