At a glance

Origin Iran, format 84 × 120 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.01 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 3.9'. 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 10-12mm.

Size and placement

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

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

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