Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 144 × 215 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

Origin Iran, format 144 × 215 cm — a Nain made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 3.1 m², or 4.7' × 7.1'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 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. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
