About This Nain
Where it comes from
A Nain, from the city of that name in central Iran, one of the youngest weaving centres in the country and yet, within a few generations, established as a byword for refinement. This piece measures 253 x 202 cm (8'4" x 6'8"), a size that sits comfortably at the heart of a room rather than at its edges. Nain is known above all for wool grounds lifted with fine silk, worked into flowing florals and medallions with a precision that comes from a drawn cartoon rather than a weaver's memory. What is unusual here is the field colour: Nain is normally read in ivory and blue, pale first, blue second. This one reverses the order.
What you see
The field is a deep, almost midnight navy, and against it a large ivory medallion opens like a sunburst, its rays reaching outward with a clarity that a paler ground would soften. Around it the navy carries a dense scroll of floral vines in tan and dusty pink, fine enough to read as texture from across the room. The four corners pick up the medallion's shape in reduced form, so that field, medallion and corners resolve into a single star composition rather than four separate elements. A wide cream border, filled with its own floral rankwork and edged in narrow grey-blue guard stripes, frames the whole in a colour close to the medallion's, holding the design together from the outside.
How it was made
That clarity is earned in the knotting. The pile is wool lifted with silk on a cotton warp, tied at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre — silk spins far finer than wool, so where it appears the outline sharpens, and at this density the medallion's points and the vine's smaller turns stay crisp rather than blurring into the ground. A pile of 12 millimetres, clipped close and even, keeps the surface smooth enough for that fine drawing to sit flat and legible rather than sunk into shadow.
At home
A rug of this depth wants a room with some weight to it — a dining room where dark wood furniture will not fight the navy, or a living room where a pale floor gets warmed rather than overwhelmed. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a fine workshop weave suited to a room used with some care rather than daily traffic. As light moves across it through the day, the silk in the medallion catches first, and the ivory star seems to hold its own quiet glow against the dark.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 253 × 202 cm (5.11 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 5.11 m² that is roughly 2.3 to 2.6 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.
