Hand-Knotted Nain Persian Rug, 259 × 309 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 259 × 309 cm. The covered area is about 8 m² (8.5' × 10.1'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is black and grey. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
