Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 201 × 297 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 201 × 297 cm. The covered area is about 5.97 m² (6.6' × 9.7'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

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.

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.
