Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 133 × 208 cm, Wool

About this rug

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 133 × 208 cm. It covers approximately 2.77 m², or 4.4' × 6.8'. 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.

Size and placement

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

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 red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
