Nain Persian Rug 104 × 150 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 104 × 150 cm. The covered area is about 1.56 m² (3.4' × 4.9'). 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.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

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.

Colour and appearance

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.
