Nain — An Elegant and Delicate Prestigious Weaving Region

Nain, a small city in central Iran, is a relatively new traditional weaving region that emerged in the early 20th century. However, it quickly established itself as a prestigious name in Persian rugs thanks to its light background colors and intricate weaving. It is characterized by its elegant color schemes, based on pale blues and ivories, and is known for being easy to integrate into modern interiors.

Intricate Hand-Weaving, Elegant Texture

With approximately 350,000 knots per square meter, the outlines of the patterns are clearly defined. The construction involves knotting wool pile adorned with silk, and when light hits the silk, the patterns appear to float. The natural variations in the hand-tied knots add a subtle depth to how light is reflected off the surface.

Suggested Placement

The size is 103 x 150 cm. This is a moderate, medium-small size, suitable for an entryway, bedside, next to a sofa, or underfoot in a study.
