About This Nain
Where it comes from
A Nain, from the small city in central Iran known for the finest end of Persian weaving, 299 x 197 cm (9'10" x 6'6"). The type is graded by "La" number — the finer the knotting, the lower the number — and is recognised above all for silk highlights set into a wool ground, typically in cream and blue. This piece keeps to that pairing more closely than most Nains, almost never straying from it into the reds or golds the design usually carries.
What you see
The field is an even ivory, so pale that the central medallion only just separates itself from the ground around it. Radiating floral vine scrollwork fills the space between medallion and border, drawn in soft grey-blue and steel-blue with small touches of dusty pink and fine navy outlining. The border repeats the same tones across several bands of floral scrollwork, wide enough to frame the field firmly, close enough in colour that it never competes with it. Nothing here reaches for contrast; the whole design sits within one narrow, considered range of ivory and blue-grey.
How it was made
Hand-knotted in wool with silk, on a cotton warp, at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre. Silk spins finer than wool, and a workshop that sets it into the pile can draw outlines and shading too fine for wool alone — which is what keeps the medallion and vine work crisp even in such close tones. At this density the knotting alone represents months at the loom, and it is exactly that fineness which lets a near-monochrome design stay legible rather than dissolving into its own field. The pile is kept low, twelve millimetres, so the drawing reads as sharply underfoot as it does to the eye.
At home
This size suits a dining table for six to eight, or a seating group in a living room. The ivory ground lifts a pale floor rather than competing with it, and against darker furniture it holds its own quietly, never pulling the eye away from the room around it. Underfoot the low, dense wool-and-silk pile is firm and even, made for a room that gets lived in rather than one kept for show. What stays with you is the light moving across it through the day, catching the silk just enough to shift the blue-grey florals half a shade as the sun crosses the room.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 299 × 197 cm (5.89 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
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 5.89 m² that is roughly 2.6 to 2.9 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.
