Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 158 × 245 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

Origin Iran, format 158 × 245 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 3.87 m², or 5.2' × 8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
