Hand-Knotted Wool Nain Persian Rug, 213 × 311 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 213 × 311 cm. The covered area is about 6.62 m² (7' × 10.2'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
