Nain
Nain rugs, hailing from the central region in the Middle East, weave a captivating tale of artistry and heritage. Despite their relatively recent emergence in the early 20th century, these rugs have swiftly earned global acclaim for their exquisite craftsmanship and fine materials.
The Rich History
Although the town of Nain boasts a storied past, its rug-weaving tradition is a more recent phenomenon. Yet, within this shorter timeframe, Nain rugs have become highly sought-after worldwide. Their delicate patterns, often adorned with floral motifs and central medallions, reflect the town’s cultural heritage. Imagine walking on a piece of history, where every knot tells a tale.
Distinctive Features and Materials
Nain rugs are renowned for their intricate designs and delicate color palettes. Shades of ivory, blue, and beige dominate, creating an elegant harmony. These rugs achieve remarkable detail with knot densities ranging from 300 to 700 knots per square inch. The secret lies in their high-quality materials—fine silk and kork wool sourced from sheep’s neck and underbelly. The Persian knotting technique ensures both visual allure and durability.
