Old Nain

There is only one rug like this in light blue and dark red: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 700,000 knots per m², the elaborate workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing and the fine working of the details. At 86 × 68 cm, it works well as a small accent rug. It shows to equally good effect in front of the fireplace. Colouring and texture lend the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no second rug shares.

Origin

Nain is one of the best-known rug provenances (source, origin) in Iran. The town of Nain lies north-west of Isfahan and has a long weaving tradition. Before the Qajar dynasty (1794 - 1925), the finest cloaks for noblemen – known as abas – were made here. Under the influence of Western culture, the traditional cloak was displaced as clothing by the suit. The weavers shifted their business and began knotting rugs.

The rugs from Nain owe their unmistakable patterns and colour combinations above all to the master weaver Hadj Fatollah Habibian Naiini. He limited himself to fewer than ten colours at the loom and so laid the foundation for the colour composition of the Nain rugs that are still so popular today. To this day the base colours are usually white or beige and blue, although Nain rugs in red, green and yellow are appearing more and more often. Floral patterns whose contours are accentuated with silk are typical. Thanks to their understated elegance and restraint to just a few shades, Nain rugs also sit beautifully in modern interiors.

Nain rugs are distinguished by four quality grades, which are given in Lah (the Persian word for layer). Lah describes the number of threads twisted together to form the warp. The more threads are used, the thicker the warp and therefore the knots, and the lower the knot density.

This old Nain is around 96 years old and a real collector's piece.

Material

The pile of this Old Nain was knotted from what is known as kork wool. Kork wool (also spelled kurk) is an exceptionally fine-threaded knotting yarn with an almost velvety feel. Kork wool is taken from the neck, the belly and the inner sides of the legs of the sheep and is of particularly high quality.

The weft and warp threads of this Old Nain are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it especially well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Old Nain. It had owners before you who valued and used it. The ends of this rug have been secured on both sides. It was knotted around 1930. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with great care. That is why – despite its age – it is in very good condition.
