Nain Kaschmar

There is only one rug like this one in blue: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of approx. 160k-200k knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine execution of the details. At 202 × 148 cm it works beautifully as a rug for the bedroom or study. It is just as effective in a small living room. Colouring and texture give the room a welcoming atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin

The rugs from the city of Nain owe their unmistakable patterns and colour combinations above all to the master weaver Hadj Fatollah Habibian Naiini. He restricted himself to fewer than ten colours in his knotting and so laid the foundation for the colour palette of the Nain rugs that are still so popular today. The base colours are still mostly 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. With their understated elegance and their reduction to just a few shades, Nain rugs also sit beautifully in modern interiors.

This rug, with the pattern typical of Nain rugs, was knotted in the Persian city of Kaschmar. Kaschmar lies in eastern Persia in the province of Chorassan and is the capital of the administrative district of the same name. It was originally called Turschis and was renamed Kaschmar in the days of Shah Reza. Kaschmar rugs therefore sometimes come onto the market under their old name of Turschis.

Material

The pile of this Nain Kaschmar was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
