Nain Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 83 × 120 cm, Wool

Overview

A Nain from Iran, measuring 83 × 120 cm. The covered area is about 1 m² (2.7' × 3.9'). Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

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

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