Nain Rugs
Measuring 5x3 ft and featuring a Medallion design in Cream, Beige, this New Nain rug embodies the weaving culture of Isfahan - a tradition of exceptional artistry and enduring craft excellence. A genuine Nain rug - particularly a
fine example with silk highlights and a high knot count - is among the most prestigious of all contemporary Persian weavings. These rugs represent thousands of hours of skilled handwork and are woven from the finest materials,
bringing an atmosphere of cultured refinement to any setting they occupy.
The classification of Nain rugs by thread count - 4 laj, 6 laj, 9 laj, and 12 laj, indicating the number of threads per unit of foundation - gives collectors and buyers a useful framework for understanding quality differences
within this tradition. The finest 4 laj Nain rugs are among the most technically accomplished rugs produced anywhere in the contemporary world.
Nain's designers draw on the full vocabulary of classical Persian design with scholarly thoroughness - every arabesque scroll correctly drawn, every palmette proportioned according to traditional conventions, every border
composed in proper relationship to the field. The result is a tradition of great compositional orthodoxy and exceptional technical achievement that stands as one of the finest achievements of contemporary Persian weaving.
Nain rugs represent the modern pinnacle of Persian classical city weaving, produced in the ancient city of Nain in Isfahan Province by master craftsmen who have created some of the finest pile rugs in the history of Persian
weaving in just a few generations. Drawing on the full vocabulary of classical Persian design and combining it with the highest standards of contemporary craft practice, Nain weavers have established their tradition as one of
the most prestigious in the living world of Persian rug production.
