Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 280 × 180 cm

Overview

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 280 × 180 cm. It covers approximately 5.04 m², or 9.2' × 5.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp.

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

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.

How it reads

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