Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 106 × 163 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 106 × 163 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.73 m² of floor, about 3.5' × 5.3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

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

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
