Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 173 × 240 cm, Wool

At a glance

A Nain from Iran, measuring 173 × 240 cm. The covered area is about 4.15 m² (5.7' × 7.9'). 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.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
