Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 200 × 130 cm

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 200 × 130 cm. It covers approximately 2.6 m², or 6.6' × 4.3'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp.

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under black and grey, Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
