Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 249 × 360 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 249 × 360 cm. The covered area is about 8.96 m² (8.2' × 11.8'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

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

Size and placement

A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

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.
