Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Nain Persian Rug, 155 × 205 cm

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 155 × 205 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.18 m² (5.1' × 6.7'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool, silk.

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as green / Oliv. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
