Wool Nain Persian Rug 83 × 200 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 83 × 200 cm. It covers approximately 1.66 m², or 2.7' × 6.6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

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