The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 155 × 241 cm. It covers approximately 3.74 m², or 5.1' × 7.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

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