Nain Persian Rug 134 × 210 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 134 × 210 cm. The covered area is about 2.81 m² (4.4' × 6.9'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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