At a glance

A Nain from Iran, measuring 148 × 205 cm. The covered area is about 3.03 m² (4.9' × 6.7'). 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

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

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