Hand-Knotted Wool Nain Persian Rug, 161 × 252 cm

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 161 × 252 cm. That is roughly 4.06 m² of floor, about 5.3' × 8.3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

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 Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
