Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 106 × 153 cm, Wool

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 106 × 153 cm. That is roughly 1.62 m² of floor, about 3.5' × 5'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

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 Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
