Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 156 × 225 cm, Wool

At a glance

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 156 × 225 cm. That is roughly 3.51 m² of floor, about 5.1' × 7.4'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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.
