Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 203 × 210 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 203 × 210 cm. That is roughly 4.26 m² of floor, about 6.7' × 6.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

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

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
