Nain Rugs
Filigree Elegance with Silk Highlights
The Story
The small town of Nain in central Iran produces some of the most elegant and refined carpets in the world. Though relatively young in the carpet-weaving tradition, Nain has quickly become synonymous with luxury.
Nain carpets are immediately recognizable by their delicate silk highlights set against fine wool, typically in cream and blue colorways. The intricate floral patterns showcase extraordinary attention to detail.
Nain rugs are prized for their refined drawing, delicate floral arabesques, and that unmistakable ivory-and-blue elegance. Their fine knotting and often short, neat pile create crisp detail that reads sophisticated without feeling loud. Many Nain pieces use high-quality wool and sometimes silk highlights, making them a natural fit for calm, curated interiors.
