Hand-Knotted Wool Nain Persian Rug, 214 × 308 cm

At a glance

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 214 × 308 cm. That is roughly 6.59 m² of floor, about 7' × 10.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

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.

How it reads

The stated colourway is blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
