Nain Persian Rug 200 × 310 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

A Nain from Iran, measuring 200 × 310 cm. That is roughly 6.2 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 10.2'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

It is catalogued under black and grey, Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
