At a glance

Origin Iran, format 153 × 235 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 3.6 m² of floor, about 5' × 7.7'. 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.

Size and placement

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
