Nain Persian Rug 145 × 145 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 145 × 145 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 2.1 m², or 4.8' × 4.8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 7 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is round. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

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

Period

Stated condition: new.
