The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 144 × 100 cm. The covered area is about 1.44 m² (4.7' × 3.3'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 5 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

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.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.

Age

Stated condition: new.
