Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 103 × 150 cm, Wool

About this rug

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 103 × 150 cm. That is roughly 1.55 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 4.9'. 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

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

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

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