Persian Nain — Silk & Wool

£3,450£4,250In stock, ready to ship

truly magnificent Persian Nain, masterfully hand-knotted in the renowned weaving city of Nain, Central Iran — a carpet that embodies the legendary refinement for which this region is world-famed. At an impressive 356 cm × 247 cm, this is a substantial, commanding piece designed to grace the most elegant of interiors. A luminous ivory field provides the perfect serene backdrop for a breathtaking multi-layered medallion — intricately woven in shimmering silk-infused wool, radiating in soft sky blue, delicate blush, and warm cream. Flowing scrolling vines, graceful palmette leaves, and delicate blossoms unfurl across the entire surface in a harmony of soft hues — every petal and tendril rendered with extraordinary precision and restraint, hallmarks of the finest Nain weaving. The palette is quiet yet deeply luxurious: soft sky blue brings calm clarity, navy adds refined depth, and subtle terracotta accents warm the design with gentle grace — creating a piece that lifts and enriches any space without ever overwhelming it. Wide, harmoniously proportioned borders frame the central field with repeating floral bands in navy and sky blue — each layer echoing the design within, lending perfect balance and stately presence from every angle. The outer border in deep navy provides a crisp, elegant finish that grounds the piece beautifully. Woven from the finest silk and premium wool, the pile is exceptionally smooth, lustrous, and wonderfully soft underfoot — a pleasure to touch and to walk upon, yet dense and resilient enough to last for generations. This is not merely a floor covering — it is a true heirloom piece: understated, luxurious, and timeless — destined to be the crowning glory of your home.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 290 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 3,952,551 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 9 months.

How that is worked out: 140 in × 97 in × 290 knots per sq. in. ≈ 3,952,551 — that is 356 × 247 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
