Nain Kaschmar
This rug in beige exists in this form only once: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 160,000–200,000 knots per m², the painstaking work shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the fine execution of the details. At 290 × 78 cm it works well as a hallway runner. It is equally at home in the entrance hall or on a landing. Colouring and texture give the room a homely 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
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
