About This Nain
Where it comes from
Nain is Persia's youngest great weaving town and, within a century, has become shorthand for a particular kind of luxury: wool so fine it takes silk highlights without losing its structure, drawn into flowing arabesques and floral medallions from a workshop cartoon. This piece measures 312 x 249 cm (10'3" x 8'2") and is hand-knotted in the classic Nain manner — except for one thing. Where Nain is almost always ivory ground with blue accents, here the field has been turned to a deep navy-black, so the whole balance of the design runs the other way.
What you see
Against that dark ground, an ivory medallion sits at the centre like something lit from within. It does not read as a shape laid over the pattern but grows out of it, because the vinework filling the rest of the field is drawn at the same fine scale as the medallion itself — the same scrolling stems, the same small blossoms, simply thinning out toward the corners. Pale gold and soft grey-blue thread through the scrollwork as quiet accents rather than a second colour scheme. A wide ivory border, filled with small floral rosettes and running vine, closes the design and gives the dark field something to push against, the contrast sharper than a conventional Nain ever shows.
How it was made
That contrast is a function of the knotting as much as the drawing. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, on a cotton warp, the weaver could hold the outline of each small flower and stem cleanly rather than letting it blur into its neighbour — this is what makes the medallion legible as pattern rather than as a block of colour. The silk carried through the wool pile catches light along those same outlines, giving the surface its gentle sheen without altering the sharpness of the drawing. Clipped to 12 mm and finished smooth, the pile keeps the whole design crisp underfoot as well as to the eye.
At home
A rug this dark asks for a room where it can anchor rather than disappear, and at just over three metres it is built for exactly that — under a dining table, or beneath a seating group in a living room with pale floors it will warm considerably and dark furniture it will hold its own against. The pile is dense enough for daily use, not for careful stepping around. What stays with you is the medallion: as light moves across the room during the day, the silk catches it in turn, and the ivory centre seems to shift very slightly against the dark field around it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 312 × 249 cm (7.77 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 7.77 m² that is roughly 3.4 to 3.9 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.
