Wool Nain Persian Rug 149 × 248 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 149 × 248 cm. The covered area is about 3.7 m² (4.9' × 8.1'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

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.

Colour and appearance

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