Nain Persian Rug 88 × 123 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 88 × 123 cm. That is roughly 1.08 m² of floor, about 2.9' × 4'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

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

Where it fits

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

On the knot count

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