Hand-Knotted Wool Nain Persian Rug, 105 × 156 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 105 × 156 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.64 m² (3.4' × 5.1'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Where it fits

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

On the colourway

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