Nain Persian Rug 82 × 121 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 82 × 121 cm. The covered area is about 0.99 m² (2.7' × 4'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

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

Where it fits

Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

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.
