Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 130 × 96 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 130 × 96 cm. That is roughly 1.25 m² of floor, about 4.3' × 3.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 8mm.

Where it fits

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 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Age

Stated condition: 21st century.
