Nain Persian Rug 200 × 200 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 200 × 200 cm. That is roughly 4 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 6.6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Stated material: new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

The rug is round. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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