Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 82 × 117 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Nain comes from Iran and measures 82 × 117 cm. It covers approximately 0.96 m², or 2.7' × 3.8'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

On the knot count

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

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