Nain Persian Rug 200 × 300 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 200 × 300 cm. That is roughly 6 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 9.8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

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