Nain Persian Rug 251 × 249 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 251 × 249 cm. The covered area is about 6.25 m² (8.2' × 8.2'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 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.
