Nain Persian Rug 260 × 355 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 260 × 355 cm. It covers approximately 9.23 m², or 8.5' × 11.6'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 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. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
