Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 148 × 97 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 148 × 97 cm. That is roughly 1.44 m² of floor, about 4.9' × 3.2'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

The pile is wool, silk, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 5 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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

Condition

Stated condition: Neu.
