Wool Nain Persian Rug 209 × 252 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 209 × 252 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 5.27 m² (6.9' × 8.3'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

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 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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