Story Behind the Art: Nain rugs, woven in the central Persian town of Nain near Isfahan, are celebrated for their exceptional fineness, elegance, and refined craftsmanship. Traditionally woven with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, many of the finest examples also feature silk highlights that enhance their luminous detail. Known for their very high knot counts often exceeding 500 knots per square inch Nain rugs display remarkable precision and clarity in design.Their motifs typically include delicate central medallions, arabesques, and finely drawn floral scrollwork, echoing the sophistication of neighboring Isfahan carpets but with a more understated, graceful aesthetic. The hallmark of Nain rugs lies in their distinctive color palette: soft ivory and cream grounds accented with shades of light or deep blue, beige, and occasional touches of burgundy, creating a serene and harmonious appearance.Blending timeless beauty with technical mastery, Nain rugs are prized worldwide as symbols of Persian elegance treasured both as decorative masterpieces and as collectible works of art.
