About This Nain
Where it comes from
A Nain rug from the workshop town of that name in central Iran, 347 x 250 cm (11'5" x 8'2"), knotted in wool with silk on a cotton foundation. Nain built its reputation in the last century on precisely this combination: fine wool pile lifted by silk highlights, worked from a drawn cartoon rather than from memory, and graded by La number for the fineness of its knotting. The type is usually shown in ivory and blue. Here the ground is a deep navy, and the medallion that normally anchors a Nain field is drawn so quietly it barely announces itself.
What you see
The first impression is of that navy field, covered edge to edge with a fine trellis of cream and dusty-blue floral tendrils, small rust and brown notes catching in the blossoms. Look for the medallion and it takes a moment to find: a small round rosette sitting dead centre, drawn no larger or bolder than the flowers around it, so the eye reads the field as one continuous scroll rather than a pattern built around a centrepiece. A wide sandy-beige border carries the same floral scrollwork and closes the design, held in by narrow blue-and-cream guard stripes that separate it cleanly from the dark ground.
How it was made
This restraint is a product of the knotting, not an accident of drawing. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, the weavers had knot counts fine enough to draw tendrils this small and a rosette this understated without either dissolving into the field or losing its shape. Silk spins considerably finer than wool, so working it into the pile let the cartoon carry that extra layer of detail, the soft sheen of the silk lifting the cream motifs against the matte navy ground. At 8 mm the pile stays low and even, which is what lets a design this dense stay legible rather than blurring.
At home
A rug of this size sits naturally under a dining table or across a seating group in a living room, and the navy ground is generous with dark furniture, holding its own rather than disappearing against it. Underfoot it is dense, firm and even, comfortable for a room in regular daily use rather than one to be tiptoed around. Where the light catches the room in the evening, the silk in the cream tendrils takes on a soft glow against the navy, and it is the kind of detail that keeps drawing the eye back to the centre, long after the medallion itself has been found.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 347 × 250 cm (8.68 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 8.68 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.
