About This Nain
Where it comes from
A Nain, from the city workshops of central Iran, 347 x 246 cm (11'5" x 8'1"). Nain is a relatively young name in Persian weaving, yet it built its reputation quickly on precision: fine wool lifted with silk, drawn to a cartoon rather than to memory, in the ivory-and-blue palette the town is known for. This piece follows that tradition but does not shout it — the colour has been kept unusually quiet for a design that is normally rich with it.
What you see
The field is a warm ivory, kept almost bare of colour, so that the eye goes straight to the medallion at its centre. Rather than filling it with a solid block of navy, the weaver has drawn the medallion and its pendants almost entirely in fine black and navy line, floral vines radiating out from it across the field like engraving rather than paint. Dusty rose and sage green appear only as small accents within that linework. The border repeats the same restraint: a wide ivory ground carrying its own floral drawing, held between narrow navy guard stripes, taking up perhaps a sixth of the width without ever competing with the field.
How it was made
A drawing this fine depends on a knot count to match, and here it runs to 441,000–500,000 knots per square metre — a density that lets a line curve and thin the way a pen does, rather than step in blocks the way coarser wool must. The silk worked through the wool pile is what makes that possible: it spins far finer than wool alone, so the weaver could draw the medallion's outline in silk rather than colour it in, which is exactly the lace-like effect you see. Cotton warp gives the structure its stability, and an 8 mm pile keeps the surface low enough that the drawing stays crisp rather than sinking into depth.
At home
At just over three by two and a half metres, this is a rug for a dining table or a living room seating group, somewhere it can be read as a whole. On a pale floor it will sit close in tone and let the medallion do the work; against darker furniture the navy linework will pick up the room around it rather than fight it. Underfoot the pile is fine and even, dense enough for daily use rather than a piece to tread around. As daylight moves across it, the silk catches first along the medallion's edge, and the drawing seems to lift very slightly off the field.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 347 × 246 cm (8.54 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 8.54 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.
