Nain Persian Rug 50 × 78 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 50 × 78 cm. That is roughly 0.39 m² of floor, about 1.6' × 2.6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
