Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 102 × 154 cm, Wool

At a glance

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 102 × 154 cm. That is roughly 1.57 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 5.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
