Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 336 × 242 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

A Nain from Iran, measuring 336 × 242 cm. It covers approximately 8.13 m², or 11' × 7.9'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as ap. 22 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

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

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.

Period

Stated condition: new.
