Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 113 × 164 cm. That is roughly 1.85 m² of floor, about 3.7' × 5.4'. 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 5-7mm.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

Colour and appearance

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