Nain Persian Rug 81 × 203 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 81 × 203 cm. The covered area is about 1.64 m² (2.7' × 6.7'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

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

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
