About This Nain
Where it comes from
A Nain, from the city of that name in central Iran, 243 x 164 cm (8'0" x 5'5"). Nain is young among Persian weaving towns yet became shorthand for refinement, its weavers setting silk into fine wool and grading the work by a "La" number that falls as the knotting tightens. Most Nain carpets carry a floral medallion at the centre; this one carries none.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field edge to edge, without a break or a centre. Across it runs a dense scrolling vine, palmettes and small rosettes in ivory, leaving no ground visible. The effect sits closer to a garden than a medallion carpet - continuous, the same density in every corner. A wide ivory border repeats the vine in softer grey-blue, dusty pink and pale ochre, the palette Nain is known for, kept here to the frame rather than the field.
How it was made
The absence of a medallion is possible only because of what lies beneath it. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, on a cotton warp, the weavers drew the vine as continuously as a line of ink, without the break most carpets need for a repeat or a centre. Silk spins finer than wool and takes a tighter knot, so the border highlights sit crisp against the pile. A field this size, drawn this fine, took months rather than weeks at the loom.
At home
At 243 x 164 cm it suits a living room seating group or a dining table for six, the brick red holding its own against dark wood and warming a pale floor. The pile is dense and fine, eight millimetres deep, firm underfoot, not soft, built for regular use. In the evening light the silk along the border catches first, then the vine, then the ivory frame.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 243 × 164 cm (3.99 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
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 3.99 m² that is roughly 1.8 to 2.0 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.
