Hand-Knotted Wool Nain Persian Rug, 114 × 194 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Nain of 114 × 194 cm. It covers approximately 2.21 m², or 3.7' × 6.4'. Nain rugs are traditionally finely knotted, with pale ivory and blue palettes.

Construction

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

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway
