Wool Nain Persian Rug 173 × 250 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 173 × 250 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.33 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 8.2'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 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 blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
