Nain Persian Rug 216 × 209 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 216 × 209 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.51 m² (7.1' × 6.9'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

The rug is square. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

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