About This Nain
Where it comes from
This is a Nain, a city-workshop rug from the small weaving town of that name in central Iran, long associated with some of the finest work to come out of Persia. Nain pieces are graded for fineness in "La" steps, the lower numbers marking the tightest knotting, and are known for fine wool pile lifted with silk highlights. This one measures 349 x 247 cm (11'5" x 8'1").
What you see
The ground is ivory, softly lit rather than stark, and it carries a dense field of scrolling floral vine that leaves almost no plain space unfilled. At the centre sits a floral medallion with pendants reaching toward the two short ends, echoed by matching spandrels in the corners, the drawing on either side close enough to mirror itself and give the whole layout a settled, formal symmetry. The palette stays gentle throughout: soft blue-grey and salmon-pink florals, small touches of navy, a camel-beige guard stripe, before the field meets a dusty rose-taupe border carrying its own floral vine, wide enough to hold the pattern without competing with it.
How it was made
The pile is wool with silk worked through it, and it is the silk that gives the surface its light sheen and keeps the outline of each flower crisp rather than let it blur into the next. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, the density is high enough that a weaver would have spent the better part of a year at the loom finishing a piece this size, each knot tied by hand over a cotton warp. The wool pile is kept low, at 10 mm, so this fine drawing sits close to the surface instead of losing itself in depth.
At home
A rug of this size is built for a dining table with room to spare, or for a seating group in a living room where the whole medallion can be taken in at once. Against a pale floor the ivory ground will not vanish into it but will still read as light; against darker furniture the rose and blue florals hold their own without raising their voice. Underfoot the wool is dense and even, smooth rather than deep, firm enough for a room in daily use. What stays with you is the sheen: as daylight moves across the room, the silk in the pile catches it in turn, so the same medallion looks a little different by afternoon than it did that morning.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 349 × 247 cm (8.62 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 8.62 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.
