Nain Persian Rug 310 × 210 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 310 × 210 cm. That is roughly 6.51 m² of floor, about 10.2' × 6.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

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.

On the colourway

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.
