Nain Persian Rug 148 × 222 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 148 × 222 cm. That is roughly 3.29 m² of floor, about 4.9' × 7.3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
