Persian Rug Iran Nain Tudeshk 1.08 X 0.78 Cm - Wool And Silk

Iran/Persia, Nain Carpets from the city of Nain, on the border of one of Iran's largest deserts, are among the most famous Persian carpets in the world. Their typical design is unmistakable with floral ornaments, a central medallion, and shades of beige and red or blue. Thanks to their designations 4La, 6La, 9La, and 12La, the fineness of a Nain carpet can be seen at a glance. The lower the "La" number, the higher the knot density and therefore the finer the carpet. Hand-knotted Traditionally, hand-knotted carpets still represent the highest quality standard among all carpet types. Depending on the knot type, the carpets are extremely robust and can last for several generations. The finer and tighter a carpet is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires significantly more manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill from the knotter. Thus, knot density is also a decisive value factor for hand-knotted rugs. Quality is not directly related to knot density. A rather coarse rug may very well have been manufactured in excellent quality.
