Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 100 × 150 cm, Wool & Silk

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 100 × 150 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.5 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 4.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

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

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