About This Nain
Where it comes from
A Nain from central Iran, a city that came late to carpet weaving and overtook most of its rivals within a generation, measuring 348 x 249 cm (11'5" x 8'2"). The workshops there are known for pairing silk with fine wool and for a level of drawing few other centres attempt, usually set against a pale ivory ground. This piece takes the same precision and turns it toward the opposite end of the palette: the field is a deep navy, carried through in ivory rather than opened up around it.
What you see
The first impression is of a dark ground almost entirely given over to fine ivory scrollwork, so dense that the navy shows only where the drawing allows it to. At the centre sits a round medallion, worked in the same floral vine as the field around it rather than set apart in a solid colour, so the eye does not so much find the medallion as notice where the pattern gathers. The spandrels in the corners continue the same vine, keeping the whole field unbroken from edge to edge. A wide camel border, filled with a repeating floral and rosette pattern and closed in by several thin guard stripes, is what finally stops the eye and gives the field somewhere to end.
How it was made
That density is the result of a very fine knot, here in the range of 441,000 to 500,000 per square metre, tied by hand over a cotton warp. A knot that fine is what allows the vine to run continuously through field, medallion and spandrel without breaking into separate shapes, and it is also what carries the silk. Woven through the wool pile rather than replacing it, the silk catches the light along the ivory and pale blue of the scrollwork while the navy ground stays matte around it, so the drawing seems to lift very slightly off the surface. At 8 mm the pile is kept low enough to hold that fine a line without softening it.
At home
A rug of this size sits naturally in a dining room under the table or in a living room in front of a sofa group, and this one holds its own in either. The navy will not wash out against dark wood or dark upholstery, and it gives a pale floor something to sit against rather than something to fight. Underfoot the pile is dense and even, firm enough for daily use rather than a piece to be kept out of the way. As the light in the room shifts through the day, the silk in the scrollwork picks it up first, so the pattern seems to move very slightly while the navy ground stays still beneath it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 348 × 249 cm (8.67 m²) this is a very large rug. It carries a whole seating group with every furniture leg on it, or a dining table with the chairs pushed back. In a small room it becomes the floor rather than a rug.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 8.67 m² that is roughly 3.8 to 4.3 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
