Hand-Knotted Wool Nain Persian Rug, 107 × 155 cm

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 107 × 155 cm. That is roughly 1.66 m² of floor, about 3.5' × 5.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

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.
