About This Nain
Where it comes from
This is a Nain, a fine city-workshop rug from the small town of Nain in central Iran, long known for wool woven with fine silk highlights. Nain rugs are graded by La number, the lower the number the finer the knot. At 300 x 198 cm (9'10" x 6'6"), this piece turns the tradition's usual pale elegance into something darker, with a deep navy field replacing the ivory ground Nain is normally built on.
What you see
The first impression is a large cream medallion glowing against that dense navy field of scrolling floral vines, the vines picked out in light blue and grey with small touches of rust and brown. Slender floral pendants radiate from the medallion along the field's central axis, and the same outer petals seem to reappear faintly at each corner, echoing the medallion without repeating it outright. A wide, multi-band border in cream carries palmettes and rosettes across roughly a fifth of the rug's width, its pale ground answering the medallion and holding the dark field firmly in place.
How it was made
Wool carries the field and its scrollwork, while silk marks the finer outlines within it, since silk spins thinner than wool and lets a knot draw a sharper edge than wool alone could hold. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, tied by hand onto a cotton warp, the crispness of the medallion's curve and the clean run of the border's palmettes are a direct result of that density; a coarser weave would blur exactly the lines that make this piece read as precise rather than loose. A pile of 12 millimetres keeps the wool close and even, so the navy holds its depth of colour rather than breaking into shadow.
At home
A rug this size sits naturally under a dining table or in front of a sofa group, in a living or dining room large enough to take in the whole medallion at once. Against pale floors the navy field gives the room weight and definition; against dark wood or dark upholstery, the cream medallion and border keep the balance, so no part of the room goes quiet. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, closely woven enough for daily use rather than a piece to be stepped around. As daylight moves across the room, it is the cream border that catches first, drawing the eye back to the medallion at the centre.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 300 × 198 cm (5.94 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 5.94 m² that is roughly 2.6 to 3.0 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.
