Nain Persian Rug 262 × 310 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 262 × 310 cm. The covered area is about 8.12 m² (8.6' × 10.2'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Size and placement

The rug is square. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

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. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
